LA County Hosts a Saturday Open House at the Altadena Community Center for Residents Still Rebuilding

The Department of Consumer and Business Affairs invites neighbors to learn about programs, services and continued recovery resources

The Altadena Community Center has had a difficult first 18 months under the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs. The county agency assumed management of the facility on January 1, 2025; six days later, the Eaton Fire damaged the center along with much of the surrounding neighborhood. On Saturday afternoon, with repairs continuing and a long-term reimagining underway, the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs is hosting an open house at the center to connect residents with county and partner-agency resources.

The open house runs from noon to 4 p.m. and is designed to bring residents, families and community partners together for a day of connection and support. Attendees will be able to learn about local programs, services and continued recovery resources available to the community. Department staff and representatives from partner agencies are expected to be on hand to answer questions and accept input from residents on the center’s future programming.

Department of Consumer and Business Affairs Director Rafael Carbajal has framed the agency’s post-fire work at the center as both immediate response and longer-term reimagining. The county has been collecting public input through a community survey — available in English and Spanish at dcba.lacounty.gov/altadena-center — that asks residents to share fire-related experiences, current support needs and preferences for future programs.

Admission is free. The Altadena Community Center sits on Altadena Drive in the heart of the unincorporated community.

The Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs Altadena Community Center open house will take place Saturday, June 6 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Altadena Community Center, 730 E. Altadena Drive, in Altadena. Admission is free. For more information, visit dcba.lacounty.gov/altadena-center.
