    Northern California wildfires have devastated over 1.25 million acres since August 15, 2020. Over 650 wildfires, many sparked by overnight lightning, have burned land, destroyed over 1,400 buildings, and left seven people dead, as reported by CalFire.

    Our top priority at Poplar Homes is the safety and well-being of our homeowners, residents, and employees. Given that we manage nearly ten percent of all available single-unit rentals in the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California, we feel it’s necessary at this time to open up temporary disaster relief housing for those in need. We wish the utmost safety to our California residents impacted by the fires.

    For daily updates on the Northern California wildfires, we recommend visiting the official CAL FIRE website and Twitter page.

    Poplar Homes’ Pledge For Fire Relief

    All management and cleaning costs associated with the property will be covered by our Disaster Relief Assistance during these three months of relocation. 

    Renters can browse preferred listings on our Homes For Rent page. Our leasing services are contactless with our rental assistant, Ace.

    Counties impacted are Santa Clara County, Alameda County, Contra Costa County, San Joaquin County, Stanislaus County, Napa County, Sonoma County, Lake County, Yolo County, Solano County, Santa Cruz County, Sacramento County, and San Mateo County. 

    Become a Fire Relief Donor

    In partnership with Poplar Homes’ Disaster Relief Assistance, homeowners can volunteer their rental home in an effort to provide temporary housing. Homeowners who have a home or apartment, optionally furnished, and satisfies our health and safety property checklist will qualify.
