Lineage Commits Direct Relief to Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles Residents as Cleanup Accelerates

More than $2.5 million already deployed, Lineage expands support to reach impacted residents living closest to the warehouse site

Los Angeles, Calif., July 9, 2026 — Lineage, Inc. today announced expanded commitments to the Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles community as part of the Company's ongoing response to the Los Palos fire.

After listening directly to residents, community organizations and city officials, Lineage is expanding its support beyond its initial $2.5 million contributions. These new commitments include the following support for residents living closest to the warehouse site:

• Housing Vouchers: Partnering with a local non-profit, Lineage will provide short-term hotel and rental assistance to residents who choose to temporarily relocate during the cleanup and remediation process.
• Air Purifiers, Air Conditioners and Masks: We will deliver air purifiers, air conditioners and masks directly to the residents who need and want them.
• Grocery Vouchers: Lineage will share these to be redeemable at Food4Less on Olympic Boulevard.
• Cash Assistance: Residents can receive direct assistance through pre-paid cards.
• Utility Support: Supporting residents’ utility bills through LADWP.

“We recognize the profound impact this fire has had on our neighbors in Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles,” said Jeff Rivera, Chief Operating Officer, who is leading on-the-ground response operations for Lineage. “Our expanded support today is the direct result of listening to nearby residents and community leaders and acting on what we have heard. We have been here throughout this situation, we will continue to be here, and we will keep listening, for as long as this recovery requires.”

“The people living and working in the community deserve timely results and meaningful support,” added Greg Lehmkuhl, Chief Executive Officer of Lineage. “Over the last several days, we have been meeting with local elected officials and engaging community organizations and leaders to understand how we can best help our neighbors. At the same time, debris removal is underway and cleanup is progressing. Right now, our top priority is simple: get this site cleaned up as quickly and safely as possible.”

To date, Lineage's community support has included approximately $2.5 million committed in direct assistance, distributed across 26 community-based organizations. More than 600 air purifiers and 2,000 masks have been delivered to residents, and 7,000 meals have been distributed in partnership with the LA Regional Food Bank across four food truck locations serving the neighborhood. Lineage is also deploying a dedicated neighborhood outreach team to listen, share information and resources, and gather feedback directly from residents.

Information will be shared with residents of the neighborhood on how to access resources from Lineage.

Debris removal officially commenced on July 6, and meaningful progress is underway across the site.

In addition to core debris removal, Lineage has wrapped portions of the building with a temporary enclosure barrier to help contain debris, reduce odors and dampen noise for neighboring residents. Misting systems are operating continuously around the building exterior to further reduce smells. Cleanup crews remain on site around the clock.

A formal phased removal schedule — targeting completion within 45 days — is being finalized for submission to the City.

Lineage is committed to providing regular cleanup updates to the community through its website, social media, door-to-door outreach, printed flyers and ongoing community meetings. For the latest information, cleanup progress updates and community resources, please visit: onelineage.com/lospalos.
