Yes, well, because we did everything we were asked to do and beyond and it cost us a lot of money. Rosa homeowner lisa frizzy knows the slogan like a good neighbor. State farm is there, but she doesnt believe it. I feel like state farm broke their promise. Lisa lost her family home in the 2017 tubbs wildfire. It would take years to rebuild it. Its not just for insurance purposes. I dont want my house to burn again. I dont want to go through all that. So they rebuilt exceeding fire safe standards with Defensible Space and more. This is fire proof paint that we have put on here. And then we have metal beams here. Not wood inside. Lisa says 80 of the walls are made of concrete. You know, theyre solid. So theyre basically as close to fire proof as you can get, she says. During the build state farm gave its approval, but on monday came an email. They basically said, were sorry. State farms made a blanket decision because of your location, youre out. State farm says starting this summer, up to 30,000 california policyholders are being dropped by the states largest insurer, including zip codes in high risk fire areas. We were told in the beginning that that as long as we didnt drop them during the rebuild process, guess that they would continue carrying us. Lisa says she never got that agreement in writing, and chances of an appeal on the nonrenewal are slim. Its very, very frustrating that state farm wont even come to the table and talk to us. In a statement, the company says state farm general takes seriously our responsibility to maintain adequate claims, paying capacity for our customers and to comply with applicable financial solvency laws. It is necessary to take these actions now. Nonprofit insurance advocates say theyre being flooded with calls from homeowners facing nonrenewal, looking for advice about next steps.

What we want is for families to understand they should not wait until things get so bad that they have to go to an emergency room. But how do they expand to help more people . He says. It starts with outreach. More people need to know. Places like la clinica de la raza exist. There are fabulous centers of health care that are waiting to connect with you and theyre waiting to help you get back on your feet. By clinica ceo jane garcia is already working on it.
