THIS ALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY IN L.A. COUNTY.
The day after the Lahaina Fire, Hawai'i's Governor placed a price-freezing moratorium on all rents as well as on prices of food and all essential goods. 
He also put a moratorium on evictions due to inability to pay rent that has remained in effect for the past 1.5 years. 
Because the Lahaina Fires has been economically damaging to the entire island, this eviction moratorium has been for ALL landlords and tenants, not just fire victims.
While millions come to Maui every year as tourists (ugh), our full time residents only number 144,000.
While most of us were not in Lahaina when it burned down, we were and still are all adversely affected. Lahaina is where we gathered to go whale watching, enjoy the delights of the waterfront, gather with friends and family, enjoy Hawaiian cultural arts and education, seek shade under our HUGE banyan tree and have a sense of belonging. It was also the original seat of the Hawaiian Kingdom. So many cultural treasures lost. It feels like our living room burned down. 🙁
We ALL immediately hit the ground running to help. By the time the Red Cross finally arrived we were already feeding, sheltering and caring for all of the fire victims. The ARC team members said that they had "never seen anything like this before".
Next month, 1.5 years later, the eviction moratorium will be lifted. Starting Feb. 5, landlords and tenants will have the opportunity to engage in free, state-funded mediation facilitated by Maui Mediation Services before filing for eviction in court. The mediation services are designed to prevent sudden evictions and expensive court-logging, expensive litigation. 
THIS all needs to happen immediately in all of L.A. County.
FEMA is still paying for rent for Lahaina Fire victims. FEMA and American Red Cross (ARC) eligibility requirements cover people with a verified structural loss. They do not cover people who were experiencing homelessness at the time of the fire.
Project Vision immediately put "flips flops to the ground" and along with the Hawaii State Department of Transportation and DSHS quickly built a truly wonderful place for our unsheltered ohana (family). I was part of the trauma trained team that first welcomed and helped to care for the unsheltered Lahaina Fire victims. Please take a look at the link to this place and see what is possible and should be done for all of the nation's unsheltered.
The Lahaina Fire was wretched and the effects are still burning us, but because we have been there, L.A. County can learn a lot from us.
I hope they ask.
