The January 2025 Eaton Fire tore through Los Angeles County, burning over 14,000 acres, destroying homes across Altadena, Pasadena, and Sierra Madre, and leaving families grieving, displaced, and unsure of what their future has in store.
In the aftermath of this devastating wildfire, California stepped in with new protections for homeowners trying to rebuild.
Assembly Bill 238 (AB 238), which took effect on September 22, 2025, gives wildfire survivors a way to catch their breath financially. The law sets up a program for mortgage forbearance relief, allowing homeowners affected by the fire to temporarily pause or reduce their mortgage payments.
