Rebuilding is officially underway in Altadena, nearly four months since the Eaton Fire ravaged this Southern California community.
Residents continue to move forward after losing so much to the January wildfire that claimed 18 lives and destroyed more than 9,000 structures across Altadena and neighboring areas including Pasadena. A testament to this beloved community has been the ongoing, concerted effort to support neighbors as they rebuild—rooted in a shared commitment to preserving the culture and history of Altadena, which was hardest-hit by the deadly blaze.
“The community in Altadena is so unique,” said Jasmin Shupper, founder and president of Greenline Housing Foundation. “It’s ethnically diverse, it’s socioeconomically diverse, it’s got diversity of thought, and it’s integrated.”
