The Los Angeles Rams Foundation today announced housing support for local families who were displaced by the devastating wildfires that swept through the Los Angeles area in January.
Through this effort, the Rams Foundation will cover one year of rent for two Los Angeles families who lost their homes in the wildfires. Additionally, the Foundation will provide rental assistance to five LAUSD employees who were also displaced, helping them secure stable housing as they rebuild their lives.
The Rams Foundation has spent the past few months working with the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena, The Change Reaction, and the Los Angeles Unified School District Education Foundation, the 501(c)(3) philanthropic arm of the district, to identify families most in need of support. The rentals will be sourced through Zillow's rental platform, which simplifies the property search process and provides comprehensive data on each listing. To help the families furnish their new homes, Bob's Discount Furniture is contributing $15,000 in furnishings.
The Rams recently surprised one of the families — the Donny-Ashley family of seven — with news that they will cover a year's rent for a home found through Zillow's rental platform. The family lost their home in the Eaton Fire.
"Los Angeles is more than where we play — it's our home," said Molly Higgins, EVP of Community Impact and Engagement, Los Angeles Rams. "When members of our community are hurting, we see it as an opportunity to step up and assist. We're proud to partner with Zillow and Bob's Discount Furniture to provide families with the stability, comfort, and hope they deserve."
This housing relief initiative is part of the Rams Foundation's ongoing commitment to supporting Los Angeles communities in times of need and reflects the organization's belief that every Angeleno deserves a safe place to call home. Since January, the Rams have worked to bring "LA Together" following the fires in a variety of ways, including hosting multiple distribution events and supporting local schools and non-profits serving the fire-impacted communities. Beyond financial donations to the Red Cross, LAFD Foundation and World Central Kitchen, in July the Rams partnered with United Way of Greater Los Angeles to host WalkUnitedLA at the Rose Bowl, raising $500,000 to support community-driven wildfire recovery efforts. The Rams also previously partnered with Zillow for their 2025 Draft House at LAFD Air Operations, showcasing their commitment to community resilience and honoring the first responders who protect the city they call home.
