Residents living on shifting ground in a mile-wide landslide region of the coastal California city of Rancho Palos Verdes will get some county money to help them cover expenses, the city announced Oct. 2.
The City Council approved $5 million in landslide relief funding offered by Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, who represents the district affected heavily by landslides in the past two years.
The council’s unanimous vote to authorize the program allows the city to provide up to $10,000 to each affected property owner, with an estimated total of $2.8 million allocated for up to 280 homeowners.
The funds can be used to buy supplies, make home repairs, pay for temporary housing, and pay other landslide-related costs. The grants will be made available to homeowners in the Portuguese Bend Community Association, Seaview, and Portuguese Bend Beach Club neighborhoods….
