CITY NEWS SERVICE

More than 300 rebuilding families, community partners and government officials are expected to gather Saturday for a block party and ribbon cutting marking the completion of demonstration homes designed to help Eaton Fire survivors navigate the rebuilding process.

The Eaton Fire Recovery Block Party will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday in the 3300 block of Tonia Avenue, according to organizers.

The demonstration homes were developed by Foothill Catalog and Williams Rebuild as educational resources for families seeking to rebuild following the fire. Organizers said the homes have been used throughout construction to demonstrate building designs, costs and ways to accelerate the rebuilding process.

More than 130 families are receiving assistance with home rebuilding through Foothill Catalog and Williams Rebuild, according to organizers.

The completed homes will be transferred to Eaton Fire survivors at cost through the Greenline Project, organizers said.

Expected attendees include Rep. Judy Chu, D-Pasadena; state Sen. Sasha Renée Pérez, D-Pasadena; Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger; county Public Works Director Mark Pestrella; Williams Rebuild founder and CEO Sadie Williams; and Foothill Catalog founders Alex Athensen and Cynthia Sigler.

The event will include tours of completed, furnished homes and opportunities for rebuilding families to speak with architects, builders, government officials and recovery partners.
