These vouchers offer survivors a safe and soft place to land as they plan toward the future and rebuild their lives.

These seven-day housing vouchers will provide critical relief for families and individuals as they begin to recover and rebuild their lives,” said Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath, Third District. “We are grateful to Hilton and American Express for stepping forward in this time of immense need and for being a partner in helping our communities through this crisis.”

Their generosity in providing shelter to those who have lost so much, as well as to the brave first responders on the front lines, reflects the best of what it means to come together as a community.” said Maribel Marin, Executive Director of 211 LA. “At 211 LA, we are honored to partner in this effort, ensuring that displaced individuals and families receive the critical assistance they need to navigate this crisis and begin rebuilding their lives.”
