Pasadena Senior Center to Host 'Rebuilding our Community' Forum for Eaton Fire-Impacted Homeowners on July 22

Residents of Altadena and Pasadena who were impacted by the Eaton fire are invited to attend a special ‘Rebuilding our Community’ forum and lecture exploring various lower-cost housing options on Tuesday, July 22 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. onsite at the Pasadena Senior Center.

Presented by the Assistance League of Pasadena, this forum is geared to homeowners who are considering rebuilding after the Eaton fire, and are interested in learning more about options that are efficient and affordable. The lecture, open to all at no cost, will feature three organizations who offer a variety of lower-cost options, including:

• The Foothill Catalog Foundation, a nonprofit offering 30+ design concepts. The organization is dedicated to helping fire survivors rebuild and save money while doing so, and even more when rebuilding together.
• CityLAB-UCLA is a multi-disciplinary research center within UCLA’s Architecture and Urban Design Department. They will discuss modular housing options and how using modular housing, or a combination of traditional construction and modular building, can save both time and funds.
• Habitat for Humanity representatives will be present to discuss affordability and sustainability options.
• Sunset Mesa Collective will discuss their concept of using a single point of contact to reduce and control costs.

This forum is just one of many initiatives of the Center’s Eaton Fire Community Support resources that was provided to the community within days of the devastating Eaton Fire. Additional resources to community members impacted by the fire can be found under the Resources menu on pasadenaseniorcenter.org.
