We Love LA: Wildfire Relief & Resources for Displaced Families

A Guide to Support, Housing, and Donations in the Wake of the Fires

The recent Los Angeles wildfires have left thousands of families displaced, creating a critical need for housing, resources, and community support. At The Hobin Company, we are deeply committed to helping those impacted by the fires in Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and other affected areas by providing emergency housing options, local relief resources, and ways for the community to help.

Whether you are looking for short-term Manhattan Beach rentals, need evacuation assistance, or want to donate to wildfire victims, this guide will provide key information on how to get help or give back.

🏡 Housing for Families Displaced by LA Wildfires

Many fire victims have lost their homes and are searching for temporary housing solutions. Thanks to the support of Southern California realtors, we have compiled a list of available rentals—both furnished and unfurnished—for short-term and long-term leases.
