City Council approves $2.3 million to support victims of LAPD's botched fireworks explosion
The City Council approved nearly $2.3 million in funding Friday to continue assisting residents who were displaced by a botched Los Angeles Police Department attempt to detonate fireworks found in a South Los Angeles neighborhood in June 2021.
The funds will be used to provide permanent relocation of displaced residents of the fireworks explosion, as well as funding for temporary housing and case management, Price said. The council also instructed LAPD Chief Michel Moore to report on any additional steps taken to ensure a similar blast does not occur again, as well as an overview of outreach conducted by the LAPD to the impacted community on East 27th Street, near San Pedro Street.
The Department of Public Works will conduct its own report on any infrastructure improvements to city assets made or needed in the area. In addition, the city attorney will provide an update on the status of claims and litigation related to the 27th Street blast.
