The Stakes

9,400+

Structures destroyed by the Eaton Fire — making it the second most destructive wildfire in California history.

75%

Of Altadena fire survivors are underinsured — with gaps between insurance payouts and actual rebuild costs averaging $200,000–$400,000 per home.

Fewer than 1 in 5

Burned homes in Altadena have been issued rebuilding permits. The clock is running.

5 Years

That's BEACON's commitment. 1,000 permits pulled. 500 families home. Altadena 95% restored by 2030.
