Following the Eaton Fire, many homes in the Altadena area are uninhabitable due to lead and asbestos contamination from ash of neighboring burned homes. These homeowners are currently displaced, even though their houses are still standing. The insurance coverage meant to pay for temporary housing, known as Additional Living Expense coverage, is running out.

The crisis is compounded by the high cost of temporary housing in the region, where three-bedroom apartments in the Pasadena area can run $5,000 or more per month.
