Thousands of displaced people need somewhere to live; ‘Trying to find a house right now is a full-time job’
The Los Angeles wildfires are pitting neighbors against each other in a cutthroat search for rental housing.
The fires have killed at least 25 people and flattened or damaged thousands of homes. Tens of thousands of displaced people are staying with relatives or sleeping in hotels and emergency shelters. Employers are providing housing for some workers. These accommodations are mostly temporary.
