Fires and floods are eviscerating US communities, intensifying the housing crisis

  • The Eaton and Palisades wildfires in California have been contained after nearly a month but caused significant long-term damage, destroying thousands of homes and worsening the state's housing crisis.
  • California already faced a shortage of 1.2 million affordable homes, with Los Angeles County needing 500,000 more units, exacerbating the homelessness issue.
  • Natural disasters, such as the wildfires, have displaced millions, with 32.6 million people forced from their homes globally in 2022, according to a 2023 report by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre.
  • In response to the wildfires, California lawmakers allocated billions for relief and implemented a moratorium on evictions for landlords housing fire survivors.
