CAMP FIRE’S TRAGIC IMPACTS, SHORT AND LONG-TERM
At NPH, our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the devastating fires in Northern California. The Camp Fire has resulted in lost lives and lost homes, and thousands of residents are currently displaced. We are grateful to the firefighter and rapid response teams who have worked to control the fires and provide for evacuees, families, students, workers, and seniors; we also recognize that the community has a long road to recovery.
Housing is a critical component to that recovery, yet Butte County residents are facing a severe shortage of temporary rentals and hotel rooms for short-term housing, as well as an extreme shortage of long-term affordable rentals and permanent housing options. Even before the fires, we know that this region suffered a shortfall in affordable housing; the long-term housing needs will only continue to grow now. We need to continue pursuing aggressive federal and state policy solutions and funding. If you are looking to make an immediate difference, we encourage you to consider making an organizational and personal contribution. We offer these relief efforts as examples:
