New Roots Eaton Canyon Pilot Offers Lead Soil Remediation for Fire-Impacted Homeowners: Up to $60,000 per Property, Applications Through Noon November 25
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, California — Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger and the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) have launched the New Roots Eaton Canyon Pilot Program to help address lead soil contamination in wildfire-impacted properties, according to the county's joint information bulletin of November 4, 2026.
New Roots serves eligible homeowners in Altadena and the unincorporated areas of Pasadena by providing soil testing and lead remediation services. Each homeowner may receive up to $60,000 in bare soil remediation, with a target of remediating approximately 20 properties. Homeowners must certify that the property has been their primary residence since January 7, 2025. Applications will be accepted through 12 noon on Wednesday, November 25, 2026, and the county said future funding opportunities are being explored to expand assistance to additional eligible homeowners. Residents can check a property's eligibility, get more information or apply through the LACDA program page, or call 626-568-1727 or email [email protected] .
The same county bulletin noted that most County of Los Angeles offices will be closed on Wednesday, November 11, for Veterans Day and will reopen November 12, and that a groundbreaking ceremony for the restoration of Charles S. Farnsworth Park in Altadena — closed since the Eaton Fire — was held on November 5.
