L.A. COUNTY TO HOST SPECIAL WORKSHOP 
FOR SENIORS WITH REVERSE MORTGAGES 
IMPACTED BY EATON FIRE

In response to the needs of older 
adults affected by the recent Eaton 
Fire, Los Angeles County is hosting 
a special workshop to support 
residents aged 62 and older who 
hold reverse mortgages and are 
facing property damage or loss. 

The workshop will help participants 
take the first steps to better 
understand their existing reverse 
mortgage agreements and the financial 
and legal implications 
tied to disaster-related property 
damage.

The event will take place on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 
at MonteCedro Senior Living Community, located at 2212 El Molino Avenue, Altadena, 
CA 91001. Spanish and Armenian translation services will be available to ensure 
broader access for attendees.

A group workshop will be led by Aimee Williams, Associate Vice President of Justice 
for Tenants, Homeowners, and Unhoused Individuals at Bet Tzedek Legal Services. 
Ms. Williams will provide critical guidance and answer questions related to reverse 
mortgages in the context of disaster recovery. There will also be representatives from 
various housing and legal services agencies–including the Federal Housing Administration, 
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and pro bono legal 
private firms–on hand to help with more individualized consultations.

“Seniors navigating the aftermath of the Eaton Fire shouldn’t have to face uncertainty 
alone—especially when it comes to complex issues like reverse mortgages,” said Los 
Angeles County Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger. “That’s why I’ve brought 
together the Los Angeles County Department of Aging and Disabilities, the Los Angeles 
County Development Authority, and the Department of Consumer and Business 
Affairs to partner with local experts for this workshop. Our goal is to offer clarity, 
guidance, and trusted advice to help seniors make informed decisions during a challenging 
time.”

Participants will gain insight into their rights, responsibilities, and next steps as they 
recover from the fire and assess the impact on their homes and finances.
