LASAN receives state funding
LA Sanitation & Environment has secured state funding from the California Water and Wastewater Arrearage Payment Program.
The Los Angeles City Council Ad Hoc Committee on COVID-19 Recovery and Neighborhood Investment on May 6 approved receipt of the nearly $60 million granted.
“While we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, we know that Angelenos are still hurting financially from the pandemic,” said Council President Nury Martinez, 6th District. “These funds will provide families with much-needed relief as they work to move forward. As a city, we are committed to seeing Angelenos through the end of this pandemic and helping our neighbors get back on track financially.”
“Even as we put the worst of the pandemic behind us, many Angelenos continue to struggle financially,” said Council Pro Tempore Mitch O’Farrell, 13th District. “This latest round of assistance is a continuation of our COVID relief efforts – the strongest in the nation – furthering our work to protect and uplift Los Angeles’ most vulnerable households.”
