California: Governor Newsom extends emergency short-term housing protections in Los Angeles

~ In a move to continue supporting the rebuilding efforts in Los Angeles, Governor Gavin Newsom has extended his executive order to make it easier for survivors of the LA firestorms to retain temporary shelter. The order, which was first issued on March 7, 2025, has now been extended until October 1, 2025.

The governor's executive order aims to boost the availability of short-term housing by suspending rules that could deter hotels, motels, and other short-term rentals from offering shelter to survivors for more than 30 days. This allows survivors to remain classified as short-term occupants rather than tenants when they stay beyond 30 days.

Governor Newsom stated, "California has removed red tape and cut bureaucratic barriers to help the Los Angeles area recover. We will continue to support the rebuilding of Los Angeles by ensuring that those who have lost their homes have adequate access to temporary housing."

This extension of the executive order is just one of the many steps taken by Governor Newsom to fast-track rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of this year's firestorms. He recently announced a new AI tool that will speed up the approval of building permits and also issued an executive order to streamline the rebuilding process by suspending permitting and review requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the California Coastal Act.
