Full summary

This resolution expresses the Los Angeles City Council's support for SB 894 (Allen), which would create a California Wildfire Resilience Loan Program designed to provide financing assistance to homeowners undertaking wildfire retrofitting and mitigation work. Wildfire retrofitting typically includes improvements such as hardened roofing, ember-resistant vents, and defensible space clearing—measures that reduce a home's vulnerability to wildfire damage and loss. Councilmember Traci Park moved the resolution, with Councilmember Tim McOsker seconding, as part of the city's 2025-2026 state legislative advocacy program. The city regularly adopts resolutions supporting or opposing state bills that align with Los Angeles' policy priorities and constituent interests. The resolution was referred to the Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee on May 29, 2026, where it currently remains. Given the standard calendar for such measures and the file's May 2028 expiration date, the resolution is still in its early stage of consideration. Council action on the resolution will likely follow committee review and recommendation.
