An Airbnb co-founder will donate $15 million to provide nearly 100 prefab houses for victims of the Los Angeles fires. Joe Gebbia is partnering with Steadfast LA, a foundation created by developer Rick Caruso that will match his donation. The homes will be built in Mexico by Samara, another company Gebbia co-founded. They will go “to those with low to moderate incomes who are uninsured, underinsured, or elderly and otherwise lack the money to rebuild.” (Los Angeles Times)
U.S.-funded health programs in Africa and Asia remain dormant, despite a federal judge’s order halting the administration’s efforts to close the US Agency for International Development. Tuberculosis testing, food for malnourished children, and clean drinking water for displaced people are among the services that have ended, despite waivers from the State Department allowing some critical services to resume. Even dozens of groups that have received waivers are not receiving payments. The Trump administration says emergency work is continuing, but it is weeding out programs that “in reality involved D.E.I. or gender ideology programs.” USAID “programs that had a gender focus included efforts to protect women from domestic violence and prevent H.I.V. infection in vulnerable teenage girls.” (New York Times)
