Wildfire Recovery Fund: Community Healing & Restoration - California Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery Fund: Community Healing & Restoration Wildfire Recovery Fund: Community Healing & Restoration When wildfires ravaged Los Angeles County in January 2025, they left behind far more than scorched landscapes — they uprooted lives, displaced families, and shattered community spaces.
In response, the California Community Foundation (CCF) acted swiftly, raising over $30 million within two weeks to support over 200 nonprofit organizations delivering vital services to those most in need.
These resources provided essential aid to Los Angeles’ most vulnerable residents — including renters, seniors, children, people with disabilities, and displaced workers — offering direct cash assistance, legal aid, housing support, food assistance, and more. To build on this momentum, CCF launched the LA Wildfires Recovery Needs Assessment in April 2025.
This assessment sought to deepen the understanding of ongoing challenges and grantee partner contributions as the region transitions from emergency response to recovery. Surveying over 630 community-based organizations across Los Angeles County, the assessment garnered 124 unique responses, revealing key insights into the evolving needs of impacted communities.
Based on the recovery needs assessment findings, communities affected by the wildfires will continue to face significant hurdles, including challenges around: housing and infrastructure rebuilding, displacement and relocation, economic recovery and job loss, mental health and trauma support, financial assistance, and community connectedness.
In addition, over 2,000 survivors shared their experiences with The Department of Angels , revealing that more than three in four report that their mental health has worsened since the fires. The impact of the LA wildfires is profound and there is an urgent need for strengthened networks of mutual support.
Building opportunities for friends and neighbors to come together to support each other and establish or maintain social networks is a key strategy for community healing. Data has shown that social ties are a critical aspect of resilience, mental health, and community recovery following a natural disaster.
