In efforts to assist community members affected by the Boyle Heights warehouse fire and cleanup, the Los Angeles Mayor’s Office announced a $1 million partnership with Airbnb for emergency housing, and Lineage is hosting its first food distribution on Wednesday night
Mayor Karen Bass said $600,000 in housing support has already been provided to those affected, while an additional $1 million in Airbnb assistance will be available to city and county residents in the immediate area surrounding the Lineage warehouse
The non-profit 211 LA will identify eligible residents living near the warehouse and assist in booking stays through Airbnb.org, the Mayor’s Office said.Â
“I’ve gone door to door in this neighborhood and met with the families living near the Lineage warehouse — they are suffering and many have expressed their desire to be relocated during the waste removal process. This is an important step in that direction,” Bass said in a news release
