Padilla hopes to increase firefighter pay, create affordable housing for disaster response
Briefly

Sen. Alex Padilla's proposed legislation aims to increase wildland firefighter pay, create transitional disaster housing, and enhance FEMA funding for disaster preparedness.
The Disaster Housing Reform for American Families Act would enable FEMA and HUD to create housing solutions that can serve as long-term affordable housing post-disaster.
We can be a little bit smarter about this and allow for the use of modular homes, manufactured homes that are themselves a little bit more sustainable.
This measure could serve as another tool in the toolbox, especially as some landlords are price gouging amid the devastation caused by wildfires.
