A Message from AIA California
The devastation that’s occurred in our communities is heartbreaking. During these challenging times, we want all AIA members to know that you are not alone – we stand with those affected and are here to offer our support however we can. There are many humanitarian relief and disaster response efforts underway, but we are focusing on how our community can continue to support the design and delivery of the built environment.
Direct Financial Assistance
Many of our colleagues and friends left their homes with little. Daily life items that we take for granted are gone.
We can help replace basic goods so they can focus on securing housing, dealing with insurance, situating children in school, and, in some cases, finding new transportation.

Temporary Office Space
While family, friends, and aid agencies are providing temporary shelter, we can support each other by providing temporary office space for firms who have either lost offices physically, or, having been displaced, are far from their existing offices.
AIA California is identifying available office space and matching it with members in need.

Advocacy
And while the immediate response efforts are underway, the AIA in California is coordinating across the region when the rebuilding efforts begin. Click here if you would like to join an advocacy group to streamline permitting and/or regulatory reform.
If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. |
