Questions Surround $100 Million in 'Fire Aid' for Los Angeles

Questions are being raised about how the roughly $100 million raised by "Fire Aid" concerts for the L.A. fire victims is being spent.

The star-studded bill for the benefit concert, held on two separate stages, raised a massive sum. But many residents of the Pacific Palisades and Malibu (Palisades Fire), and of Altadena and Pasadena (Eaton Fire), say they have not benefited.

There have been two significant local investigations by local news outlets, each of which came to different — though not necessarily contradictory — conclusions about Fire Aid’s money.

The first, by ABC affiliate KABC-7, concluded that the money was being well-spent — on organizations:

Roughly 120 organizations split $50 million when the first round of FireAid funds was released in February. 7 On Your Side tried reaching out to every single one of them, and heard back from more than 50 to find out how the money is being used.

Lots of administration, but not much charity dispensed.
Newsom and Bass want to make The Palisades a 15-minute city.
They're slow-walking permits for rebuilding and everything.
No, no more William Lloyd Wright homes.
Modern ghetto with embedded surveillance state. That's what they want.

They want to rebuild affordable housing there for illegal aliens.

They want to rebuild affordable housing there for illegal aliens.

That's what they say. In reality, those overlooking the ocean will become multimillion dollar condos, congested and expensive.

This is two years old. Costs have skyrocketed since. Why California’s ‘affordable’ housing costs $1 million a unit

 

[The Duke]

They want to rebuild affordable housing there for illegal aliens.

The con is in the "building" that really isn't building, just stalling for time and money.
And basically screwing off to run out time on purpose.
Like the train to nowhere. Which Newsom just lost, btw.
Wasn't that supposed to be done by 2020?
How many years ago was that?
When they built 41 and 301 and 19 and 66 and roads like that, they got it done and done right.
Within a decent time schedule.

They want to rebuild affordable housing there for illegal aliens.

Their idea of rebuilding is Smart LA 2028.. Seems this fit in nicely with the fully realized plans to rebuild Los Angeles following the devastating fires that, by sheer coincidence, wiped out the exact neighborhoods marked for redevelopment by the WEF.

The bill would use taxpayer funds to oversee most of the construction process, and would grant the power to “Purchase lots at a fair price for land banking,” among other things.

I have seen a couple of news articles that said the money went to non-profits and not to those affected by the fire. It seems, from what they reported, that many of the non-profits that got funds had nothing to do with housing or rebuilding.

Was one of the non-profits the Help Illegals Evade ICE Group?

FireAid, a relief initiative that emerged from a benefit concert, has distributed $75 million in grants to over 120 organizations supporting wildfire relief efforts. The initial round of $50 million was allocated to immediate needs, while a subsequent $25 million focuses on long-term recovery and environmental remediation. Beneficiaries include organizations providing direct assistance to victims, supporting essential services, and aiding in rebuilding efforts

How much of that will go OPEX and how much will actually go to those in need?

SO MANY CHARITIES ARE JUST SCAMS,

It’s crazy how left wing charities never help anyone.

None will reach them. Once the charity has paid all their overhead they send what’s left to another charity to do the same until it’s all gone.

Uncomfortable Questions Surfacing On FireAid’s $100 Million Relief Fund

I understand that like 100 million was raised to help shelter victims of the Palisades fire and now a half year later, hardly no one has gotten help and when called, those running the aid organization cannot be reached and do not return phone calls.

I’m betting they all cashed their checks though.

You've got to hand it to California. They are consistent in their corruption. The $100 million in Fire Aid donations that were promised as going DIRECTLY TO THE VICTIMS instead went to dozens of "non-profits" and so far not a dime has helped a fire victim.

Rep. Kiley Urges DOJ to Investigate FireAid Donations

WASHINGTON – Congressman Kevin Kiley (R-CA) is calling on U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to open an investigation into FireAid Funds, saying the money has been misallocated. FireAid, a celebrity concert held in January 2025, raised over $100 million for victims of the Los Angeles wildfires...

I am not surprised.

However, thread title says “Reamin?” Meaning?

Check.

Sue their assess in a federal court. Many of these donations would have been across state lines, right?
