Between January 7 and 8, 2025, the Eaton Fire destroyed more than 4,600 homes west of Lake Avenue in Altadena, California.

In the years leading up to the fire, insurance premiums had increased by more than 400%, and many homeowners had been dropped entirely.

When the fire hit, thousands of residents had little or no insurance. This left them with no financially realistic way to rebuild.

Without funds to close that gap, families are forced to sell their land, accelerating displacement and gentrification. Altadena Brick by Brick exists to interrupt that outcome. We are rebuilding one home, one family, one grant at a time.
