In early January 2025, the Palisades and Eaton wildfires destroyed homes and businesses and disrupted lives across Southern California. The American Red Cross provided shelter, food, relief supplies, and comfort to disaster survivors, as well as financial assistance to severely affected households.
Thanks to our generous donors, the Red Cross is supporting long-term recovery efforts in affected areas through strategic grants to nonprofit organizations providing vital recovery services. Grants are dedicated to funding projects that assist the most vulnerable individuals, households, and communities in their long-term recovery and resiliency activities.
The Red Cross 2025 California Wildfires Long-Term Recovery Program has awarded grant funding to projects in one or more of the following four areas of need:
Housing Stability: Projects addressing strategic, sustainable housing recovery needs for households with the fewest recovery resources.
Mental Health and Wellness: Projects addressing the effects of disaster-caused trauma to individuals and communities.
Communities Facing Disproportionate Recovery Barriers: Projects addressing recovery disparities shaped by socioeconomic, access, and cultural contexts.
Capacity Building for Community Organizations: Projects strengthening partners to execute programs addressing disaster recovery for survivors and impacted communities, to build resiliency ahead of future disasters.

A principios de enero de 2025, los incendios forestales de Eaton y Palisades destruyeron hogares y negocios, alterando la vida de los habitantes del sur de California. La Cruz Roja Americana proporcionó refugio, alimentos, suministros de asistencia y consuelo a los sobrevivientes del desastre, así como asistencia financiera a las viviendas gravemente afectadas.
Gracias a nuestros generosos donantes, la Cruz Roja apoya los esfuerzos de recuperación a largo plazo en las zonas afectadas mediante subvenciones estratégicas a organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro que prestan servicios vitales de recuperación. Las subvenciones se destinan a financiar organizaciones y proyectos que ayudan a las personas, hogares y comunidades más vulnerables en sus actividades de resiliencia y recuperación a largo plazo.
Mediante un proceso de Solicitud de Propuesta (RFP, por sus siglas en inglés), los programas de recuperación a largo plazo por incendios forestales de California 2025 de la Cruz Roja están enfocando su financiación en cuatro áreas prioritarias:
