Fire Survivors to Learn About Affordable Housing Options
Pasadena Senior Center forum will feature four organizations offering lower-cost rebuilding solutions
Homeowners affected by the Eaton fire can learn about affordable rebuilding options at a free forum next week.
The Pasadena Senior Center will host the “Rebuilding our Community” forum Tuesday, July 22, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The event targets Altadena and Pasadena residents considering reconstruction after the fire.
The Assistance League of Pasadena is presenting the forum. Four organizations will share information about cost-effective housing alternatives.
The Foothill Catalog Foundation will discuss more than 30 design concepts. The nonprofit helps fire survivors rebuild while saving money, particularly when rebuilding together.
CityLAB-UCLA will present modular housing options. The research center operates within UCLA’s Architecture and Urban Design Department. Officials will explain how modular construction can reduce both time and costs.
Habitat for Humanity representatives will address affordability and sustainability options.
Sunset Mesa Collective will explain their single point of contact approach to reduce and control costs.
The forum is part of the center’s Eaton Fire Community Support resources. The center launched these resources within days of the fire.
Additional fire-related resources are available under the Resources menu on the center’s website.
Registration is available at https://www.
Pasadena Senior Center has operated for 65 years. The organization serves older adults with social programs, fitness classes, support services, education and volunteer opportunities.
The center receives no government funding and operates as a donor-supported nonprofit. It provides more services to older adults than any other San Gabriel Valley organization.
The center is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday hours are 8 a.m. to noon.
