Los Angeles has shown its true spirit in the wake of this crisis. Our communities have rallied together, offering shelter, supplies, and hope to families and business owners who lost everything. While the initial response has been inspiring, we know recovery takes time. That's why we're partnering with local organizations for the long haul – not just today or tomorrow, but for the months and years ahead. We've already begun supporting key relief organizations and are building new partnerships to ensure no one falls through the cracks during rebuilding.
