Case Study: LA Wildfire Relief
—$20M Deployed in Weeks

"You need a clean and simple application that people can understand, that’s written at a level that people, especially in crisis, can go through simply, and you need really robust outreach and technical assistance."

Director, LA County Department of Economic Opportunity

In January 2025, wildfires and hurricane-force winds devastated parts of Los Angeles County. With limited federal relief, LA County’s Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and the City’s Economic and Workforce Development Department (EWDD) partnered with AidKit to:

Deliver $2,000 cash assistance to financially impacted workers

Provide $2,000–$25,000 to small businesses in the fire zones based on verified damages

Use application data, Cal Fire, and other public data to prioritize needs to target outreach

Offer in-person identity verification for survivors who lost documentation

Track need and eligibility in real time

In under two weeks, over $20 million was disbursed to 4,000 individuals and small businesses.
