The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved the State of California’s request to extend financial assistance under the Individuals and Households Program (IHP) for survivors of the 2025 Los Angeles Wildfires. Under the approved extension, eligible homeowners can receive assistance through July 9, 2027, and eligible renters can receive assistance through October 9, 2026.

As of June 12, 2026, FEMA reported that more than 35,000 households have received assistance through the Individuals and Households Program, with more than $177 million awarded to eligible survivors. FEMA also reported that more than 1,200 households have received Continued Temporary Housing Assistance since the disaster. Today’s extension will allow survivors to continue receiving this critical disaster assistance as they rebuild.
