Recovery Navigation

We help residents identify relevant recovery programs, resources, organizations, application pathways, and possible next steps based on their needs.

Rebuilding Support

We support community-centered rebuilding through rebuilding-readiness assistance, housing initiatives, property development, and partnerships that help residents navigate the road back home.

Homeowner Preservation & Anti-Displacement

We support strategies designed to help existing residents protect ownership, understand their options, reduce displacement pressure, and preserve Altadena's community and generational legacy.

Recovery Partnerships

We work with nonprofit organizations, housing counselors, public agencies, service providers, funders, and community partners to identify recovery gaps and make assistance easier for residents to access.

Our Work

Three commitments guide everything we do.

Because true recovery is measured not only by what is rebuilt, but by who is able to return home and remain home.
