California invests $369M in wildfire recovery but omits victim aid
A California Post investigation found that nearly $369 million in federal aid allocated for wildfire victims was instead directed to low-income housing developers without requirements to house wildfire survivors. Eight years after the 2018 Woolsey Fire, survivors like Mickey Schechter continue to struggle, living in inadequate housing, while most funds went toward new low-income apartment projects that do not prioritize wildfire victims. State agencies defend the spending by stating that new housing replaces homes lost in the fires, but critics highlight the lack of designated support for survivors amidst ongoing rebuilding difficulties.
