What are the unmet needs of fire-impacted people?

A significant need for financial assistance and healthcare remains among fire-impacted people. About a third of survey respondents report financial support is very needed or urgently needed. Almost a fifth of people identify housing as a critical ongoing need and more than 10% lack sufficient access to food. There has been a slight downward trend in unmet needs across these three areas. Other areas with significant unmet needs include therapy, health or dental insurance, healthcare, and resource navigation.
