Temporary offices in La Crescenta and Long Beach set up to help residents affected by mudslides and flooding will close Saturday, L.A. County officials said.
The offices, called local assistance centers, usually are opened after emergencies to provide residents with access to government and nonprofit agencies, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles or the Salvation Army.
Most people who needed help after last month’s flooding and mudslides have resolved the problems the centers could help them with, said Anne Maria Tafoya, a spokeswoman for the county’s Office of Emergency Management.
The centers scheduled to be closed are at Central Christian Church in La Crescenta and at the department of gas and oil in Long Beach.
Tafoya said the U.S. Small Business Administration would remain at the La Crescenta office and the neighborhood resource center in Long Beach until March 11 to deal with loan applicants.
