CalAssist pays the mortgage on the home you lost while you rebuild the home you’ll return to - up to a year of payments, capped at $100,000, sent straight to the lender, never repaid. More than 1,100 LA-area firestorm households had been funded as of May 2026. Eligibility windows and remaining funds change; we verify current status the week you apply.
Who qualifies
- Homeowners whose primary residence was destroyed or made uninhabitable in a qualifying declared disaster within the covered window
- Program income limits and documentation requirements apply; funds are finite
What we handle for you
For rebuild clients we confirm eligibility early, assemble the documentation package alongside the insurance file (one gathering, two uses), and time the application against your rebuild schedule and ALE clock - one less form standing between your family and the finished home.
