LOS ANGELES, CA – Today, U.S. Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) joined residents at Estrada Courts in Boyle Heights to distribute air purifiers, N95 masks, and other essential supplies to families still dealing with the health impacts of the Lineage Logistics fire. The event continued Rep. Gomez's ongoing efforts to connect residents with immediate relief while securing long-term federal investments to strengthen the community.  

"Today, we were here at Estrada Courts making sure families have air purifiers and masks to help protect their lungs after the Lineage Logistics fire spread smoke across Boyle Heights," said Rep. Jimmy Gomez. "Our job isn't finished when the flames go out. We're helping people get through this crisis today while also investing in the long-term improvements this community deserves. That's why I've secured federal funding for air conditioning, building upgrades, and now additional investments to keep making Estrada Courts a healthier, safer place to call home. We're going to keep showing up, keep delivering, and keep fighting for Boyle Heights." 

Estrada Courts, home to more than 1,000 low-income residents and located roughlyone mile from the warehouse fire, was among the neighborhoods hardest hit by smoke and poor air quality. In addition to providing emergency supplies, Rep. Gomez has secured federal Community Project Funding to improve living conditions at Estrada Courts, including funding for air conditioning, housing renovations, and additional upgrades, while proposing another $1 million for the next phase of the community's cooling project.  

Rep. Gomez has made supporting communities impacted by the Lineage Logistics fire a top priority, working alongside local partners to distribute air purifiers, masks, water, and other essential resources while advocating for a full recovery effort and long-term investments that improve public health and quality of life for Boyle Heights families.
