Rebuilding:
SGV Habitat serves as your one-stop building partner.
Home Repairs:
Essential repairs to restore the safety and stability of your home.
This program is designed for homeowners whose primary residence was destroyed by the Eaton Fire. We’re rebuilding now — and we may be able to build back your home too.
We serve low- and moderate-income homeowners impacted by the fire. Right now, maximum income limits range by household size, listed below. Some funding sources prioritize low-income households.

| Gross Income** | $127,200 | $145,440 | $163,560 | $181,800 | $196,320 |
San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity’s Wildfire Rebuild Program is actively underway, with homes already under construction and funding available to support additional homeowners. If your goal is to return home sooner, with fewer obstacles and a trusted partner guiding the process, we’re here to help.
We build:
All homes are built using designs from The Foothill Catalog (TFC) — county pre-approved, all-electric, and fire-resilient, created specifically for post-wildfire rebuilding. We can offer you any design within 200 sqft of your original home footprint or smaller. These current designs range from 975 sq. ft. to 2,417 sq. ft., with additional plans coming soon.
Plus, our own standardized SGV Habitat Designs from 484 sq ft. – 891 sq ft., can also be used as Primary Home Designs or Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
Many properties can accommodate multiple structures, such as a primary home plus an ADU, and our team will gladly review your lot, constraints, and layout options with you.
All Foothill Catalog designs are available to explore online. We encourage you to visit their website to browse the full catalog of homes, review detailed floor plans, and even experience select designs through interactive 3D renderings.
Rebuilding after a wildfire often requires combining multiple funding sources. SGV Habitat helps bring these together so you can move forward sooner. Typical funding sources may include:
If there is still a gap after your available funds, SGV Habitat may be able to advance funds to allow construction to begin now, rather than waiting years to rebuild. Our goal is simple: help you rebuild your home without taking on new commercial debt whenever possible.
Submitting an application does not lock you into a final design or build decision. It simply allows our team to:

Our Pasadena ReStore (32 N. Sierra Madre Blvd.) or online – provides deals on furniture and housewares plus additional discounts for fire-impacted families.
The purpose of this program is to repair homes affected by the Eaton Fire, allowing displaced homeowners to return safely and helping all homeowners address safety concerns and necessary repairs. Roof repairs and damage caused by smoke will take priority with limited funds available on a first-come, first-served basis for income eligible households. To assist as many households as possible, there will be a cap on funds provided per project, based on repair needs and funding available. Projects will be financed through a 0% interest, 5- or 10-year forgivable loan due if the home is sold, transferred, or no longer owner-occupied during that time. After the designated time, the loan will be completely forgiven with no interest or payments due.
