Before the Eaton Fire, Altadena was known as one of the most diverse areas of Los Angeles County with 58% of its residents identifying as People of Color. 18% of whom are Black. During The Great Migration of the 1930’s some Black families were able to move into parts of Altadena. Following the passage of the 1968 Fair Housing Act, even more Black families flocked to Altadena.
It became a refuge and a sanctuary for the Black community and was one of the more affordable, middle-class areas where Black families could realize the American Dream of homeownership. At its peak in 1980, 43% of Altadena residents were Black.
Today, 8 out of 10 Black residents in Altadena are homeowners. That’s almost double the national Black homeownership rate.
Many of these homes and businesses were passed down from generation to generation helping to create culturally vibrant neighborhoods and rich communities while at the same time increasing generational wealth for these families through home and business ownership.
Now so many of those homes and businesses have burned down.
Together, we can help.
