District Swearing-in (Save the Date) – Mortgage Help – Know Your Rights

Dear Neighbor,

This week, I have a few important items to share with you. New mortgage assistance is now available for Eaton Fire survivors. We have also updated information about your rights during ongoing immigration raids. Finally, I would like to personally invite you to my community swearing-in ceremony and to a town hall focused on children’s mental health.

If your home was destroyed or left uninhabitable by a California disaster such as the Los Angeles wildfires or floods, the CalAssist Mortgage Fund is a state program that provides much-needed relief by helping cover mortgage payments. Here’s how it works: 

  • 3 months of mortgage payments, up to a maximum of $20,000
  • Funds never have to be repaid and it’s free to apply
  • Grants paid directly to your mortgage servicer
