Airbnb Co-Founder Is Donating $15 Million to Build Prefab Homes for L.A. Fire Victims
Briefly

Billionaire co-founder of Airbnb, Joe Gebbia, is donating $15 million in prefabricated homes to Los Angeles residents displaced by wildfires. His startup, Samara, is collaborating with Steadfast LA to provide these homes to low-income families in Pacific Palisades and Altadena. The modular homes will be available at no charge to families without sufficient funds to rebuild. With a construction timeline of around six months, this initiative aims to address the urgent housing need in wildfire-affected communities amidst rising construction costs.
Samara's initiative is crucial for uninsured or underinsured homeowners affected by the wildfires, providing essential support in the face of housing crises.
While we can't help everyone affected by this crisis, the program covers all parts of building a new home.
Labor and material prices are going to increase, and people will face longer rebuild timelines. We build these homes in a factory, which will avoid the strain.
The wildfires have devastated communities in the L.A. area, leaving many without homes and in dire need of assistance.
