- Summary:
- “Firefighters began battling multiple wildfires on October 8, 2017, in numerous counties across the entire state, prompting mass evacuations. Thousands of acres burned and threatened infrastructure as strong winds fueled the fast-moving fires, primarily in Northern California. Collectively, the wildfires burned more than 245,000 acres, destroyed over 8,900 structures, and were responsible for 43 deaths. Within the nine counties impacted, over 6,500 homes were destroyed, almost 60 homes suffered major damage, and another 584 sustained minor damage. The housing losses, either temporary or long-term, create numerous challenges for local government as they seek to recover and help their residents rebuild their lives and their homes. The State of California and the federal government formed a Housing Task Force (HTF) to support local jurisdictions in managing and executing their recovery and rebuilding efforts in the way that best suits the needs of their communities. The pressing need for housing is beyond the scope of one agency and includes all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to work together to quickly design and implement housing solutions. The primary audiences for the Housing Support Plan are affected local jurisdictions. This plan highlights State of California and federal government resources that are available to support local officials as they develop their plans for recovery. This document is intended to serve as a menu of available (and scalable) technical assistance and support. This document does not contain the entirety of resources available. Instead, it outlines resources that are potentially relevant to the affected communities. Information will be added to Annex A: Available Housing Programs, as members of the HTF identify additional resources and capabilities that can support local jurisdictions.”
