As Founder of Community, Serve Us, with our Pilot focus on LA Wildfire Recovery and broader Disaster Prevention & Recovery efforts, my heart has been especially heavy this holiday season. Across the country, far too many people remain unhoused or precariously housed, and here in Los Angeles, the looming anniversary of the wildfires arrives alongside renewed storms and evacuations. For many survivors already working to rebuild their lives, being forced to evacuate again during Christmas and New Year’s has compounded trauma in ways that are difficult to fully capture.
While Community, Serve Us is committed to remaining impartial and fair, reading Fix What You Broke, You Didn’t Fix What You Broke, and the Civic Coalition Proposal for Urgent Housing Relief for Eaton Fire Survivors made one thing unmistakably clear: at the center of these reports are human beings asking for something profoundly basic. Not special treatment. Not excess. Simply the ability to feel safe in their homes while recovery unfolds.
This moment underscores why Community, Serve Us exists. Complex crises require space for many perspectives, lived experiences, and ideas to surface. We encourage experts, policymakers, community leaders, and everyday citizens alike to engage thoughtfully in this discussion and to share ideas that prioritize dignity, stability, and long-term resilience for communities navigating disaster recovery.
My hope is that by holding space for constructive, solutions-oriented dialogue, we can help communities move toward outcomes that restore not only infrastructure, but trust, safety, and a sense of home.
I also extend an invitation to all of our users to have the compassion to take a moment to share your sentiments here and let those rebuilding, not just here in LA, but across the country, know that they have not been forgotten and that we support their right to the basic needs of shelter and safety.
