Unfortunately, there are Altadena homeowners who cannot or choose not to rebuild after the January 2025 fires. Our SGV CLT is working closely with Altadena community members to identify those residents and make ourselves available as an option. Selling their burned land to us is one option to preserve the land for their community and prevent predatory investors from buying up the community.
There are owners and renters who have been displaced and are concerned about affordable housing being rebuilt; we are working with partners to address these concerns.
Faith communities lost their places of worship, and many of their parishioners lost their homes as well. As faith communities begin recovery conversations, we are making affordable housing (and specifically the role of CLTs) part of those conversations.
