Woolsey Rebuild: Malibu Completes 69th Home

MALIBU, CA — The city of Malibu has completed 69 single-family home rebuilds as of Monday as part of their efforts to recover from the devastating 2018 Woolsey fire.

The Woolsey fire burned down at least 670 structures within the city of Malibu including over 400 single-family homes, the Los Angeles Times reported. Ever since, the city has been making efforts to help residents rebuild and return to their former homes.

The rebuild team has completed 69 single-family homes as of Monday, with many more partial rebuilds and multifamily residence projects. The city has 291 other homes in the planning or construction phases of rebuilding, according to the city of Malibu. This makes for a total of 330 single-family homes currently approved for planning or rebuilt.

The city has also completed 12 multifamily units and issued permits for six more.

"In early November 2018, Malibu experienced the most catastrophic event and community-wide trauma in our history when the Woolsey Fire burned through our neighborhoods, stealing homes from so many of our neighbors," the city said on its rebuilding website. "However, this resilient community has already begun taking strong steps to rebuilding, and City staff are ready to work with our residents through every step of that process."

The rebuilds are scattered throughout the city limits. Check out where the houses have been built using the city's rebuild map.
