Bass said funding for six Hazard Mitigation Grant Program projects requested by the city have been pending final action by FEMA for more than four months. According to Bass’ office, data cited by the Congressional Research Service found that no new Hazard Mitigation Assistance funding had been approved since March 2025, aside from certain congressional earmarks.<\/p>\n
“Los Angeles is doing everything we can to rebuild stronger and safer following the January wildfires, but we cannot do it alone,” she said Wednesday. “FEMA’s hazard mitigation funding is critical to protecting our communities from future disasters. These projects have been submitted, reviewed, and are ready to move forward. I urge FEMA to provide transparency on their status and immediately release funding for projects that are ready for obligation. Every month of delay is a missed opportunity to strengthen our communities before the next wildfire, earthquake, or flood.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bass said funding for six Hazard Mitigation Grant Program projects requested by the city have been pending final…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":452726,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-452725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=452725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/452726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=452725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=452725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=452725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
