Thanks to the incredible support of our partners, donors, and volunteers, the Pine Street rebuild site is transforming—one wall, one home, and one act of kindness at a time.
What started as a vision to help families rebuild after the Eaton Fires is now taking shape before our eyes. Together, we’re not just building homes—we’re rebuilding hope, restoring community, and creating a stronger Altadena for generations to come.

7 New Homeowners in El Sereno
In August, SGV Habitat celebrated seven first-time homebuyers in El Sereno—the first to purchase renovated Caltrans properties and our 100th family to achieve homeownership.

Success stories
Since our founding in 1990, all families who have completed our homeownership program have had a 100% success rate with zero foreclosures or defaults! Charity Navigator has ranked us in the top 1% of non-profits – with 96% of all donations going to build and repair more homes.
