Rick Caruso is launching Steadfast LA, a non-profit that aims to help people return to their homes and rebuild in the wake of January's L.A. fires.

Developer Rick Caruso unveils foundation to tackle the most pressing challenges facing Pacific Palisades, Altadena, Malibu and Pasadena as they rebuild.

Billionaire developer Rick Caruso, a vocal critic of Los Angeles leadership during last month’s wildfires, announced he’ll lead a nonprofit aimed at accelerating private-sector involvement in the area’s massive rebuilding effort.

He says Steadfast LA is “about getting our hands dirty, breaking through obstacles and physically rebuilding — brick-by-brick, street-by-street.”
