Financial Assistance Grant Program

On October 1, 2024, the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council unanimously approved an emergency financial assistance program allocating $2.8 million in landslide relief funding from the office of Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn to deliver immediate aid to City residents impacted by land movement and utility shutoffs. Through this program, the City could provide up to $10,000 to each eligible affected property owner, with an estimated total of $2.8 million allocated for up to 280 eligible homeowners, for critical expenses such as purchasing supplies, home repairs, temporary housing and other related costs due to land movement or utility interruptions. As of June 30, 2025, the City disbursed payments for 223 completed and verified applications, totaling $2.2 million. 

Another $2.2 million from Supervisor Hahn's office was deployed to bolster the City’s landslide response and stabilization efforts. 

The deadline to apply for the Financial Assistance Grant Program was 5 p.m. on June 30, 2025. This grant program has officially ended, and no further applications will be accepted. Following direction from the City Council at the Annual Budget Workshop on April 17, 2025, the remaining grant funds will be transferred to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund to continue supporting landslide emergency response and mitigation efforts, in accordance with the grant requirements.
