What is Lotus Rising LA?

Lotus Rising LA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping vulnerable communities in Los Angeles rebuild after disasters. Inspired by the 2025 wildfires, we focus on sustainable prefab housing, direct rebuilding assistance, and community-driven recovery efforts to ensure families can stay in the places they’ve always called home.

Who does Lotus Rising LA help?

We primarily help families who have lost their homes due to disasters, especially those who are underinsured, from generational homes, or facing financial barriers to rebuilding. Our goal is to make sure no one is forced to leave their community because they can’t afford to rebuild.

What types of rebuilding assistance do you provide?

Our approach includes:

• Sustainable prefab housing as a faster, more cost-effective rebuilding option.

• Financial and resource support for families navigating insurance gaps.

• Community-driven rebuilding efforts, including partnerships with builders, architects, and volunteers.

Is Lotus Rising LA only focused on the 2025 wildfires?

No – while the 2025 wildfires inspired our work, we are committed to helping Los Angeles communities recover from future disasters as well. Our long-term mission is to create sustainable rebuilding solutions that can be deployed whenever disaster strikes.

What makes prefab housing a good rebuilding solution?

Prefab homes are built off-site and assembled quickly, making them a faster, more affordable, and more sustainable alternative to traditional rebuilding. They also allow families to return home sooner, reducing the risk of displacement.

Are you partnered with any companies or government agencies?

We welcome partnerships of all kinds—from private companies and local organizations to government programs. While we collaborate with experts in prefab housing, construction, and disaster recovery, we remain an independent, mission-driven nonprofit focused on serving the community first.

How can I support Lotus Rising LA?

There are several ways to get involved:

• Donate: Your contributions help fund rebuilding projects and direct support for families.

• Volunteer: We need hands-on support for events, outreach, and rebuilding efforts.

Partner with us: We welcome collaborations with businesses, designers, and builders.

How do families apply for assistance?

We are currently developing an application process for families in need. In the meantime, those affected by disasters can contact us directly for support and resources.
