| The devastating wildfires throughout Los Angeles have left thousands displaced, many of whom have yet to return to their homes and are now grappling with the emotional and financial challenges of rebuilding their lives. Many of the households affected are uninsured, underinsured, and have limited incomes. |
It takes many people coming together to rebuild our communities, to provide housing solutions where they are most needed and to offer hope in a time of great loss. With this in mind, we have put together the ReBuild LA campaign to support housing needs of those affected across the county – and these funds and resources will stay in our communities.
Habitat for Humanity has a strong reputation and a long history of helping communities recover from disasters, including hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. Habitat is committed to the long-term rebuilding and will work to ensure families, particularly those most vulnerable, impacted by this disaster have a safe and affordable place to call home.
In Altadena there are 9 Habitat partners – homeowners who either purchased homes through our homeownership program or received critical home repairs to homes they own when they did not have the means to do the repairs on their own – and each who lost their homes in the fire. We will offer our assistance to help rebuild with each of them. We will also work with others – particularly those who are low-income – to rebuild, repair homes they own and offer first-time homebuyer opportunities.
Habitat for Humanity has been building homes – and providing opportunities for first-time homebuyers in this area for over 35 years.
