New Bill Aims to Speed up Housing Recovery
Season 2025
Episode 295
Assembly Bill 239, by Assemblymember John Harabedian, aims to speed up housing recovery after disasters by creating a state-led task force. Based on a Texas model, it would coordinate federal, state, and local efforts, appoint a housing recovery leader, and track progress. The goal is to make rebuilding easier for communities affected by wildfires, like Altadena and the Pacific Palisades.
