Helpful Document For Fire Victims in Los Angeles

Client and Attorney Ryan Terschluse created this helpful document for fire victims in Los Angeles. Thank you, Ryan. In unadulterated form, here is his email message and a link to the document.

Critical Information, Forms and Referrals for Eaton Fire Victims (2025-01-16 RMT)

All:

Attached please find an updated write-up of materials and resources I've compiled for Eaton Fire victims.  In addition to the LA County tax relief forms and FEMA application information I previously circulated, I have added information regarding:

- Mortgage forbearance;

- Foreclosure forbearance; 

- California and Federal income tax relief; and

-  Further information from the preeminent wildfire law firm in the country regarding its current assessment of the viability of pursuing claims against Southern California Edison.

Please feel free to share this with any and all members of the community who may find this helpful.

Note - If enough members of the community impacted by the Eaton Fire would like to discuss any of the above with representatives of Singleton Schreiber, they are willing to hold another virtual town hall to address any and all of your questions.  Just reach out to me to express interest and I’ll ensure such a town hall takes place and that the information to join is widely disseminated.

Small Business Assistance Updates from CD13 - Mitch O'Farrell, Councilmember

Small Business Assistance Updates

This content below is from the office of Mitchell O'Farrell, Councilmember, 13th District, Los Angeles:
____________

Hello, I hope this finds you well, 

As many of you know we had a marathon City Council meeting last Friday, that lasted 11 hours. Many of you contacted our office regarding impacts on small businesses, in particular 1.) the paid leave, and 2.) the right to recall, as well as prohibitions on evictions of commercial and residential tenants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  

The "paid leave" item was amended to be for businesses with 500 employees or more, and the "right to recall" was continued to allow City Attorney and analysts to report back on the impacts this policy would have. Stay tuned for next steps.

Below is what may be helpful information regarding financial aid available locally, and at the State & Federal levels. This is just an overview, and more will become available on a day to day basis.  

City of Los Angeles "Micro-Loan" program

These $5,000 to $20,000. loans can be interest free depending on the length of the loan, info below:

Federal Stimulus Package: 
The financial stability of the nonprofit sector and small businesses remains an ongoing concern due to the growing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. But there are new streams of funding that can help under loan opportunities that provide access to capital to meet the most urgent needs. Nonprofits and businesses with 500 employees or fewer that need help with payroll, rent, or mortgage expenses due to the COVID-19 crisis are eligible to apply for loans under the $349 billion Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act passed by Congress last week. The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) have issued guidelines. Find a fact sheet on PPP here.

SBA notes that SBA, “funds are provided in the form of loans that will be fully forgiven when used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities (due to likely high subscription, at least 75% of the forgiven amount must have been used for payroll).”

Applications will be accepted beginning Friday, April 3. Members are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, because funding is limited.

As SBA lenders expect a high volume of applications, members are encouraged to work with a lender if there is an existing relationship.
Find a list of the top 10 SBA lenders by volume here.

Treehouse at Cadillac and Shenandoah near Beverlywood. I had a treehouse when I was little. Loved it.

Darren noted that on the eastside of town this could be a home office. Too true. It's all about maxing out the space, eh?
