This is the direct result of collaborative, intentional action between my office, LAPD, and community groups and leaders.

Through community-led initiatives, we will keep taking bold action to drive crime down.

We will keep working — every day — until every person has a safe place to call home, until families are no longer torn apart, and until every community is able to rebuild and heal.

Wishing you and your loved ones peace and comfort today.

I’m holding close the families who lost loved ones in recent raids, residents who lost everything in the January wildfires, and every Angeleno who is struggling to find a safe place to sleep tonight.

This program helps Angelenos stay and rebuild in the communities they love.

The original information we shared was accurate, but our priority is to make sure information about this milestone is clear and accessible. This new post includes more information in the caption to avoid confusion. We will continue sharing progress as the recovery moves forward.

Note: The original post highlighting the first Certificate of Occupancy was published on Friday, November 21, 2025, but was removed after there was false information circulating, including that this property did not burn down in the Palisades Fire.

While someone is not moving into this property today, it shows that rebuilding is underway. More than 340 rebuilding projects are confirmed to have started construction in Pacific Palisades at this time.

On April 1, 2025 – nearly three months after the start of the Palisades Fire – the plan for 915 N Kagawa was approved by LADBS, and the permit was pulled by Thomas James Homes that same day. After passing all inspections, the Certificate of Occupancy was issued on November 21, 2025.

Thomas James Homes, the builder, originally submitted a plan check application to the City on November 8, 2024, to construct a new single-family home at 915 N Kagawa. The plan was not approved before the previously existing home at 915 N Kagawa was destroyed in the devastating Palisades Fire.

Today’s congressional hearing matters because we’re creating a record of these injustices. When the facts are documented, accountability becomes possible for the people impacted now and for every community that could be affected in the future.

We also partnered with local community organizations and businesses to distribute fire safes to Angelenos and promote emergency preparedness.

Since April, more than 2,000 volunteers across 30 neighborhoods have stepped up — planting trees, creating art and revitalizing our public spaces.
