Webinar Jan. 6: The Altadena Recovery: Who Gets to Come Back?

This webinar spotlights LPPI’s latest research on wildfire recovery and brings community leaders into conversation to assess progress one year after the fire, and chart priorities for an equitable recovery and long-term resilience. 

Join us for a webinar examining the uneven path to wildfire recovery for families and local small businesses in Altadena.

Recent UCLA LPPI research indicates that home rebuilding remains slow, with nearly seven in ten severely damaged houses showing no visible progress. Many Black, Latino, and AAPI homeowners are still navigating insurance delays and rising costs, while tenants face displacement as affordable housing remains unrepaired or sold to investors. Meanwhile, small business owners are also facing challenges related to displacement and business continuity.
