A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO Dear Friend of SGV Habitat, As we reflect on FY ‘25 (which started in July 2024 and ended in June 2025) it’s really important to look at how it started, and how differently it ended. The Eaton Fire erupted right in the middle of this time period and caused our organization to completely pivot mid-year to adjust and strengthen our support of the community. We started the year deeply involved in rehabbing homes in El Sereno, that were formerly owned by Caltrans, for first-time homeownership. Then we experienced the loss of long-time supporter former President Jimmy Carter which was quickly followed by the Eaton Fire. Like many, San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity deeply felt the impact of the devastation. Members of our Board, staff, volunteers, friends, and family were forced to evacuate, and some lost their homes. We temporarily closed our Pasadena ReStore to keep everyone safe, and when we reopened, nothing felt the same. From that moment forward, we knew our work had to meet the urgency of the moment. As a housing organization, we understood that rebuilding homes would be essential to recovery. At the same time, we knew people needed immediate help—basic household goods, clean air, and a sense of stability. We stepped in where we could, distributing essential items and listening closely to those affected. Through our outreach, we learned that many homeowners seeking help had lived in Altadena for decades, were often underinsured or uninsured, and had an average age of 72. These conversations shaped everything we did next. As we shared our plans to offer a comprehensive and affordable construction experience, support began to grow. We are deeply grateful to partners such as the Altadena Builds Back Foundation and many others who stepped forward with generosity and trust. Their support has helped ensure that underinsured and uninsured homeowners have real options for returning home. While putting together this plan, we did not lose sight of the projects we already had underway in El Sereno, Baldwin Park, Azusa and El Monte. While we waited for it to be safe to build in Altadena we re-directed the volunteer interest to help finish homes in El Sereno and helped 5 more first-time homebuyers achieve a place of their own to call home. We continued construction in Azusa, sitework in Baldwin Park and preconstruction efforts in El Monte keeping the path moving forward for future affordable homeownership opportunities in these communities. We also relocated our affiliate offices, hosted six distribution events serving nearly 1,500 families with essentials such as mattresses, air purifiers, and furniture and celebrated the second anniversary of our Pasadena ReStore. As you look through the pages of this booklet you will see a true testament to the perseverance of community – and the ability to make a big impact due to the strong partnerships with corporations, foundations, government officials, religious and spiritual communities, and thousands of individuals who not only believe in our mission, but also lend a hand in its success. YOU make the difference! With gratitude and hope,

BRYAN WONG CEO, SGV HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

ADVOCACY

Advocacy took on a new level of urgency in 2025. Following the devastating Eaton Fire, SGV Habitat leaders joined Habitat affiliates from across California and the nation in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. to advocate for policies that support affordable homeownership, disaster recovery, and long-term community resilience. While affordable housing remained a central focus, this year's conversations also centered on the real and immediate challenges facing families impacted by disaster. Throughout both advocacy events, SGV Habitat shared firsthand experiences from the front lines of recovery, highlighting the needs of homeowners navigating loss, rebuilding, and the complex path toward recovery. By bringing local stories to state and federal leaders, our team helped demonstrate how public policy can strengthen disaster response efforts, remove barriers to rebuilding, and expand access to affordable homeownership. Together with Habitat partners, we ensured that the voices of wildfire-affected families were heard and that rebuilding communities remained a priority at every level of government.

HONORING A HABITAT LEGACY PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER OCTOBER 1, 1924 – DECEMBER 29, 2024 Following the passing of former President Jimmy Carter, the Pasadena ReStore created a special memorial installation featuring a door where community members could leave messages, memories, and words of gratitude. The display provided an opportunity to reflect on President Carter's extraordinary legacy and lifelong commitment to affordable housing. As Habitat for Humanity's most recognized volunteer and one of its greatest advocates, President Carter, alongside First Lady Rosalynn Carter, helped bring international attention to the need for safe, decent, and affordable housing. Through the annual Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project and more than four decades of service, they inspired thousands of volunteers to pick up a hammer and help build stronger communities around the world. President Carter's legacy lives on through the millions of families impacted by Habitat for Humanity and the countless volunteers he inspired to build hope, stability, and opportunity for others.

10 DAY BLITZ BUILD ADU IN BALDWIN PARK

In July 2024, San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity set out to accomplish an ambitious goal: build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in just 10 days. From July 10–19, volunteers, staff, sponsors, and community partners came together in Baldwin Park to take on the challenge. What began as a simple concrete foundation quickly transformed into the framework of a new home. Over the course of just ten days, walls were raised, roofing was installed, insulation and drywall work began, and the majority of the ADU was completed. The Nubia Blitz Build brought together 155 volunteers who contributed more than 1,450 hours, transforming volunteer passion into tangible progress for affordable housing. Despite record-breaking summer temperatures and challenging working conditions, volunteers remained committed to the project, working side-by-side with Habitat's construction team to keep the build on schedule. The effort was made possible through the support of numerous volunteer groups, community partners, and the City of Baldwin Park. In addition to providing critical funding for the project, the City played an instrumental role in helping keep the Blitz Build on track by coordinating inspections and making staff available throughout the process to help expedite construction timelines. Volunteer groups and partners including IBEW, Valley County Water District, Southwest Carpenters Union, and Westcon Engineering also stepped up to support the build. The community rallied around the project in many ways, from providing meals for volunteers to visiting the site to show support. Together, they demonstrated what can be achieved when skilled professionals, community members, local government, and first-time volunteers unite around a common goal. The Blitz Build also highlighted the extraordinary commitment of Habitat's longtime construction volunteers. Retired interior designer Lily O'Hara not only volunteered her time on site but also generously provided lunch for volunteers. Volunteer Crew Leader Ned Ryan celebrated his 81st birthday by spending the day helping construct the ADU, while Bill "Grumpy" DeKleine continued sharing his expertise and mentoring fellow volunteers on the job site. More than just a construction project, the Nubia Blitz Build demonstrated the power of collective action. In only ten days, volunteers helped create new housing opportunities while proving that when a community comes together with a shared purpose, remarkable progress is possible.

VOLUNTEERS THE HEART OF OUR MISSION If there was one thing that defined FY2025, it was the incredible spirit of volunteerism that carried SGV Habitat's work forward. Volunteers showed up wherever they were needed. They helped tackle ambitious projects like the 10-day Blitz Build in Baldwin Park, where hundreds of volunteers came together to help construct an ADU in record time. They worked alongside future homeowners at our first four-unit development in Azusa, helping create new opportunities for affordable homeownership in the San Gabriel Valley. When the Eaton Fire devastated Altadena, volunteers immediately stepped forward looking for ways to help. While safety concerns delayed construction activities in the burn area, volunteers found other ways to serve—sorting donations at the Pasadena ReStore, assisting at relief distribution events, and participating in Women ReBuild projects in El Sereno. Their willingness to adapt and support wherever needed demonstrated a shared commitment to helping families and communities recover.

Throughout the year, volunteers donated their time, talents, and energy to support nearly every aspect of SGV Habitat's mission. Whether building homes, assembling walls, organizing supplies, welcoming shoppers, or supporting disaster recovery efforts, they reminded us that affordable housing is truly a community effort. That spirit reached its peak in June at Walls of Hope, when more than 500 volunteers from across the country gathered to help launch rebuilding efforts for families impacted by the Eaton Fire. Together, they built wall panels and home components that will become part of future Habitat homes in Altadena, transforming compassion into action and hope into tangible progress. The challenges of FY2025 were unlike anything our organization had experienced before. Yet time and again, volunteers answered the call. Their dedication, resilience, and generosity not only helped build homes—they helped build hope.

HOME PRESERVATION

PRESERVING HOMES, STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES Through our Home Preservation Program, SGV Habitat for Humanity helps low-income homeowners maintain safe, healthy, and stable living conditions while remaining in the homes and neighborhoods they love. In FY2025, the program completed repairs on 15 homes throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Repairs included roof replacements, plumbing, gutters, concrete work, accessibility improvements, and other critical interior and exterior repairs. Funding was provided through partnerships and grants, including CalHome, the City of Baldwin Park, and Southern California Edison. For fire impacted households, following the Eaton Fire, SGV Habitat expanded its home preservation efforts to support fire-impacted homeowners. In partnership with GER3, which funds and manages smoke remediation services, SGV Habitat began accepting applications for post-fire repair assistance in spring 2025. After remediation is complete, SGV Habitat coordinates repairs such as roofing, windows, flooring, paint, landscaping, appliance replacement, and other improvements needed to help families safely return home. Looking ahead, SGV Habitat aims to assist up to 30 fireimpacted households through this specialized program, helping families recover, rebuild, and remain in the communities they call home.

PROTECTING A FAMILY LEGACY

BEFORE

AFTER

For more than 40 years, James Okumura's home has been a place of comfort, memories, and family. Purchased in 1980, it represents decades of hard work and a legacy he hopes to pass on to future generations. As the roof aged and leaks became a growing concern, the cost of repairs was simply out of reach. Through SGV Habitat's Home Preservation Program, James received a new roof, eliminating the stress and uncertainty that came with every rainy season. "Getting a new roof helped my dad feel relieved and stressfree during the rainy season," shared a family member. "Now he does not have to worry about the leaks in the house." Today, James can continue living safely in the home he loves, knowing it will remain a place for his family for years to come.

IT STARTED WITH A LEAK IN THE ROOF - MARIA’S HOME REPAIR STORY

BEFORE

AFTER

When it rained outside, Maria's Baldwin Park home experienced rain indoors as well. A widow and mother of seven, Maria had lived in the same home for more than 23 years, but the cost of a new roof was far beyond what she could afford. Whenever storms arrived, her son would help by covering the roof with a tarp. As the damage worsened, plumbing issues created additional leaks inside the home. Unsure where to turn, Maria learned about SGV Habitat's Home Repair Program through her family and applied for assistance. Today, her roof and plumbing have been repaired, allowing her to remain safely in the home and community she has loved for decades. For Maria, these repairs provided more than home improvements—they provided peace of mind and the ability to continue making memories with the family she raised there.

HOMEOWNERSHIP FROM HOPE TO HOMEOWNERSHIP Daniel & Sybonay’s Story Daniel and Sybonay dreamed of a stable home where their children could grow, learn, and thrive. Having both experienced childhoods without much stability or support, they were determined to create something different for their own family. With three children and a fourth on the way, they knew what they wanted—a safe place to call home—but weren't sure how they would ever achieve it. That changed when they found SGV Habitat for Humanity. "When we applied, I really didn't know what would come from the program," Daniel shared. "We purchased a home that I never would have thought in a million years we would have gotten. It's such a blessing, and it exceeded anything we ever dreamed of."

When the family first saw their completed home, they immediately began imagining the memories they would create there. What once seemed impossible was now theirs—a home with multiple bedrooms, a large backyard, and a safe neighborhood where their children could grow up surrounded by community. Today, the children spend their days playing outside, enjoying space of their own, and simply being kids. The impact has been clear. "It's amazing to see the kids enjoy it more than us," said Sybonay. "We've noticed such a difference in how they communicate and interact." The home has transformed daily life for the entire family. Before becoming homeowners, unexpected maintenance issues often disrupted family plans and added stress to everyday life. Now, they have the stability and peace of mind that comes with a place of their own. The additional space has also made everyday life easier. Sybonay can comfortably work from home while the children play, and family gatherings, holiday celebrations, and simple moments together have become even more meaningful. As part of Habitat's homeownership program, Daniel and Sybonay completed their sweat equity hours, working alongside volunteers and gaining valuable skills along the way. For Daniel, the experience built confidence and gave him a deeper understanding of homeownership. Most of all, the family is grateful for the volunteers and supporters who helped make their dream possible. “Thank you to all the volunteers and donors. Your time, sweat, and dedication aren’t in vain. We’re loving this home, our children are loving it, and we’re grateful from the bottom of our hearts.” -Daniel, Habitat Homeowner For Daniel and Sybonay, their Habitat home is more than a house—it's the foundation for a brighter future and the stability they always hoped to provide for their children.

WOMEN REBUILD 2025:

BUILDING STRONGER COMMUNITIES TOGETHER Women ReBuild 2025 brought together hundreds of women—and the organizations that support them—to build, volunteer, learn, and lead. What began as a celebration of Women in Construction Week evolved into a months-long effort to rehabilitate homes in El Sereno while supporting SGV Habitat's broader mission of creating safe, affordable housing and strengthening communities in the wake of the Eaton Fire. The season kicked off on March 1 with the Blueprint for Success: Women in Construction Panel, held in recognition of Women in Construction Week. Moderated by journalist Christina Pascucci, the event featured accomplished women leaders from across the construction and design industries who shared their experiences, discussed challenges and opportunities, and highlighted the importance of communication, empathy, and leadership in shaping the future of the industry. The panel set the tone for a season focused not only on building homes, but also on empowering women and creating pathways for future generations.

From Left to Right, Panelists: Tammy Tosounian, Alicia Loh-Ortiz, Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter, Diana Limon, Aura Aguilar and Christina Pascucci.

Throughout the spring, volunteers rolled up their sleeves and got to work across multiple rehabilitation projects in El Sereno. Teams tackled demolition, framing, drywall installation, painting, landscaping, electrical work, shed construction, and countless other tasks that helped move homes closer to completion. Many volunteers arrived with little or no construction experience, eager to learn new skills while making a meaningful difference in their community. Others brought professional expertise from the construction, banking, insurance, and energy sectors, contributing specialized knowledge while mentoring fellow volunteers. Thank you for showing up- day after day, with your sleeves rolled up ready to make dreams come true! Your time, energy, and care have helped build more than a house, you’ve helped build hope! Every nail you hammered and every brushstroke you painted is a gift of love that will carry with us always.

– Norma Lozano, El Sereno homeowner

Women ReBuild 2025 was made possible through the generous support of sponsors and community partners who shared a commitment to creating stronger communities. East West Bank served as the event's Title Sponsor, while organizations including Lunar Solar Group, Holliday Rock, IBEW 11, U.S. Bank, Travelers Insurance, C.W. Driver Companies, DPR Construction, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions Foundation, and many others dedicated their time, resources, and talent throughout the season. Community groups such as Yoga Matka returned for a second year, demonstrating the lasting connections and commitment that Women ReBuild continues to inspire. The impact extended beyond construction. Volunteers participated in wellness activities led by community partners, shared meals together, celebrated milestones, and formed new relationships rooted in service and purpose. For many participants, Women ReBuild offered an opportunity to step outside their comfort zones, develop new skills, and see firsthand how collective action can transform lives. The experience reinforced an important truth: when women come together with a shared purpose, they can build far more than homes—they build confidence, connection, and lasting change. As Women ReBuild 2025 came to a close on May 31, volunteers had contributed countless hours of labor and support to rehabilitation projects that will help families achieve stability and opportunity through affordable homeownership. More importantly, they demonstrated the power of community, proving that rebuilding is about more than construction—it is about people coming together to create hope, resilience, and a stronger future for all. To every sponsor, volunteer, donor, and advocate who made Women ReBuild 2025 possible: thank you for helping build brighter futures, one home and one family at a time.

Thank you sponsors!

WALLS OF HOPE A COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER FOR REBUILDING HOPE

Just six months after the Eaton Fire devastated Altadena, more than 500 volunteers gathered for San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity's Walls of Hope event to take the first tangible steps toward rebuilding homes and restoring hope. Held over two days in June, Walls of Hope marked the beginning of construction for families rebuilding with SGV Habitat's support. Volunteers from across the region— including faith groups, schools, businesses, community organizations, fire survivors, and local residents—came together with a shared purpose: helping families return home. The event represented an important milestone in SGV Habitat's recovery efforts. Since the fire, the organization has worked tirelessly to remove barriers for homeowners navigating the rebuilding process. Along the way, SGV Habitat achieved several key milestones, including securing the first rebuild permit issued in Altadena, receiving the first plans approved through Los Angeles County's new preapproved plan process, and obtaining the first grant awarded through the Altadena Builds Back Foundation. This funding will help rebuild 22 homes for underinsured families, many of whom lost homes that had been in their families for generations. During Walls of Hope, volunteers built and prepared critical components that will soon become part of future homes. Together, they constructed 160 wall panels, assembled 32 cabinets, built six table bases, and painted 18 pieces of furniture. More than the physical work completed, the event provided something equally important: hope.

"At my age, I never thought I'd be starting over... but today I feel something I didn't expect—hope." — Kenneth, 85-year-old Eaton Fire survivor and future Habitat homeowner. (pictured left, with his family)

WALLS OF HOPE The spirit of community support was perhaps best exemplified by six-year-old Henry. After his school was lost in the Eaton Fire, Henry (pictured left) was moved by the stories of families who had lost their homes. Determined to help, he organized a neighborhood bake sale and raised $352. At Walls of Hope, he proudly presented his donation to SGV Habitat on a homemade check decorated with rainbows and turtles—small symbols of hope and resilience during a difficult time. Stories like Henry's remind us that rebuilding a community takes everyone. Whether through volunteering, donating, advocating, or simply showing up, every act of kindness helps move recovery forward. More than 25 families have already applied to SGV Habitat for rebuilding assistance. Many are older adults who have lived in their homes for decades and face significant insurance gaps that make rebuilding difficult or impossible on their own.

"By creating this event, we brought everyone together to get the work started and restore hope." — Bryan Wong, CEO, SGV Habitat for Humanity

Walls of Hope was more than a volunteer event—it was a powerful reminder that recovery happens when a community comes together. With every wall raised, cabinet assembled, and hand extended in support, volunteers helped lay the foundation for families to return home and for Altadena to rebuild stronger than before.

RESTORE

GROWING COMMUNITY

The Pasadena ReStore continued to grow as both a shopping destination and community hub, hosting blood drives, DIY demonstrations, e-recycling events, and other activities that welcomed new and returning visitors alike. A major milestone during FY2025 was the launch of the Vendor Marketplace in July 2024. What began with just two vendors expanded to 24 local businesses and artisans by the end of the fiscal year, helping establish the ReStore as a destination within the region's growing thrifting and vintage shopping community while supporting local entrepreneurs.

PASADENA RESTORE: A RESOURCE FOR RECOVERY

In the months following the Eaton Fire, the Pasadena ReStore became a vital resource for families beginning the recovery process. On March 8, 2025, SGV Habitat partnered with Sit 'n Sleep to host the first Fire Relief Distribution, providing more than 500 wildfire-impacted families with mattresses, air purifiers, sheets, pillows, ReStore vouchers, and other essential household items. Additional relief distributions followed at SoFi Stadium and the Pasadena ReStore, extending support to even more survivors. “We left our home on January 7th, and by the next day it had burned down—we lost everything. It’s been really hard, but we’re so thankful for the generosity of Habitat for Humanity to help us rebuild our lives. We’re grateful not just for us, but for our community as well.”

The Pasadena ReStore’s online store continued to attract a growing community of loyal shoppers who know it's one of the best places in the San Gabriel Valley to find unique treasures at affordable prices. Positive customer reviews, word-of-mouth recommendations, and a reputation for great deals have helped make the ReStore a favorite destination for thrifters, homeowners, and bargain hunters alike. Today, the Pasadena ReStore stands as one of the largest and most dynamic ReStores in Southern California—a place where shopping, donating, volunteering, and community impact come together.

Pasadena ReStore 32 N. Sierra Madre Blvd. Pasadena, CA 91107 Tuesday - Saturday: 10am - 6pm, Sunday: 12pm - 5pm

The ReStore's impact continued long after these events. Since March 2025, the ReStore has provided 128,899 discounts on essential home goods, helping families purchase 19,813 items and save a combined $101,976 as they replaced belongings lost in the fire.

RAISING THE RAISING THE ROOF ROOF FOR FOR AFFORDABLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING HOUSING

More than 200 supporters gathered at Le Méridien Pasadena Arcadia for SGV Habitat's 2024 Raise the Roof Gala, an evening dedicated to celebrating progress, inspiring hope, and raising critical funds for affordable housing throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Guests enjoyed an evening of community, entertainment, and philanthropy while learning about SGV Habitat's vision for the future. During the event, CEO Bryan Wong shared the organization's ambitious Framing the Future campaign, which aims to impact more than 200 families across 31 communities over the next three years through homeownership, home preservation, ADUs, and innovative housing solutions. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, donors, volunteers, and community partners, the event raised more than $225,000 to support affordable housing, home preservation, and rebuilding efforts. Together, these investments are helping create strength, stability, and self-reliance for families throughout the San Gabriel Valley.

“Over the next three years SGV Habitat will change the lives of over 200 families, in 31 communities, through our Framing the Future campaign,” said SGV Habitat CEO Bryan Wong during the evening’s events. This comes at a time when housing costs are at an all-time high. The income needed to afford a median priced home in LA is over $200,000! More than double what the average household earns in our area. And that does not include the money needed for a down payment … However, with Habitat there is hope!”

The City of Baldwin Park was recognized for its commitment to expanding affordable housing opportunities and its strong partnership with SGV Habitat. Together, this collaboration has the potential to create dozens of affordable homeownership opportunities and critical home repairs for local families.

CONSTRUCTION THE HANDS AND HEARTS OF SGV HABITAT

FY2025 was a year of tremendous growth for SGV Habitat's Construction team. As the organization expanded its vision and prepared to meet the growing need for affordable housing and disaster recovery, the team grew alongside it—taking on new challenges while continuing to deliver exceptional results in the field. Throughout the year, the Construction team completed the rehabilitation of five homes in El Sereno, advanced planning and preconstruction efforts for rebuilding in Altadena, and coordinated off-site wall build events that engaged hundreds of volunteers in the mission. Their work laid the foundation for the next chapter of SGV Habitat's impact across the San Gabriel Valley. But their role extends far beyond construction. Every day, team members welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and experience levels onto the build site. They serve as mentors, teachers, and leaders—guiding individuals who may have never picked up a hammer before and helping them gain the confidence to build something meaningful. Whether leading a corporate volunteer group, teaching a future homeowner, or working alongside a first-time volunteer, the Construction team creates an environment where people can learn, contribute, and see the direct impact of their efforts. Their patience, expertise, and commitment help transform volunteer enthusiasm into tangible progress for families and communities. The homes they build are lasting, but so is the impact they make on the thousands of volunteers who leave the site with new skills, new perspectives, and a deeper connection to their community.

WORKING AT SGV HABITAT A YEAR OF SERVICE AND RESILIENCE

FY2025 challenged SGV Habitat staff in ways we never anticipated. While continuing our work of building homes, preserving homeownership, and operating the Pasadena ReStore, our team also stepped into a new role—supporting a community recovering from disaster. Following the Eaton Fire, staff quickly adapted to meet emerging needs, learning firsthand what it means to respond during a crisis. From connecting families with resources and coordinating relief efforts to guiding homeowners through rebuilding and recovery, team members worked tirelessly to support the community when it needed us most. Whether on a construction site, at the ReStore, in the office, or out in the community, every staff member played a role in helping families navigate uncertainty and begin moving forward. Their compassion, resilience, and commitment to service helped transform challenges into opportunities to make an even greater impact. This year reminded us that Habitat is more than building homes—it's showing up for our neighbors when they need us most.

PARTNERSHIPS

THAT POWER COMMUNITY When the Eaton Fire changed the future of Altadena, it also created an opportunity for extraordinary collaboration. Organizations from across the region stepped forward, bringing their expertise, resources, and shared commitment to helping families recover. These partnerships became more than collaborations—they became the foundation of a long-term rebuilding effort that continues today. By combining innovation, funding, and specialized expertise, together we are creating solutions that will help families rebuild stronger, faster, and with hope for the future.

ALTADENA BUILDS BACK FOUNDATION In June 2025, San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity was honored to receive the first grant awarded by the newly established Altadena Builds Back Foundation. The $4.55 million investment will fund the rebuilding of 22 homes for underinsured homeowners in West Altadena, providing families with a path forward after losing so much. This landmark partnership represents one of the largest investments in SGV Habitat's rebuilding efforts and is helping ensure long-term recovery remains accessible to those who need it most.

THE FOOTHILL CATALOG FOUNDATION Rebuilding after a wildfire requires balancing speed with thoughtful design. Through a partnership with the Foothill Catalog Foundation, SGV Habitat developed a collection of pre-approved, fire-resilient home plans that honor Altadena's unique architectural character while helping families rebuild more quickly. These innovative designs reduce permitting timelines, preserve the community's identity, and provide homeowners with beautiful, practical options designed specifically for post-wildfire recovery.

GLOBAL EMERGENCY RELIEF, RECOVERY & RECONSTRUCTION (GER³)

Recovery extends beyond rebuilding homes—it begins with making them safe to return to. Partnering with Global Emergency Relief, Recovery & Reconstruction (GER³) allowed SGV Habitat to support homeowners affected by smoke damage through a comprehensive two-phase recovery process. GER³ led testing, smoke remediation, and debris removal while SGV Habitat coordinated repairs including insulation, flooring, painting, and appliance replacement. Together, the partnership has established a model for helping families safely return home while laying the groundwork for long-term recovery throughout Altadena.
