LOS ANGELES — More than $8 million in federal funding will be coming to the Los Angeles region to bolster emergency shelter operations, provide rental assistance, and other services, officials announced Friday.

The funding is coming from the U.S. Department of Housing through its Rapid Unsheltered Survivor Housing program, according to California Sen. Adam Schiff and Sen. Alex Padilla. Funding can be used to support LA County residents displaced by the recent wildfires.

"This funding will provide much-needed relief for residents who are struggling to get back on their feet after the recent wildfires across Los Angeles, as well as those who have been experiencing homelessness," Schiff said in a statement. "These resources will ensure our local governments can help families and individuals without housing move forward as our communities begin to rebuild."

Of the $8 million, the state will receive $3 million. Los Angeles County and the cities of Los Angeles, Pasadena, Pomona and Long Beach will each receive $1 million.

The city of Glendale is set to receive $409,957 from RUSH funds, as well.

"This initial federal funding provides urgent support to help address housing insecurity for those affected by the fires," Padilla said in a statement. "The road to recovery will be long, but I will keep fighting for additional resources to support at-risk families and provide safe, stable housing as we rebuild."
