Our Solution

The Altadena Rapid Housing Solution (ARHS) is an initiative of the Accelerated Housing and Transit Development Project. the Accelerated Housing and Transit Development Project is a fiscally sponsored project of Community Partners, which is a registered public charity, exempt from Federal income taxation under Sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, ARHS activities fall under the project oversight, accountability, and responsibility of Community Partners.

STAGE 1

Return Home

Immediate relief. RVs are installed on homeowners’ lots, often within seven days, so residents can live on their property instead of in shelters and a tree is planted with lights.

STAGE 2

My Next Place

Medium-term stability. Prefabricated ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) provide fire-resistant, climate-resilient housing on site while permanent construction is planned.

STAGE 3

Rebuild My House

Long-term resilience. Permanent homes are designed and built with modern standards, water and sewer infrastructure, and options like adding ADUs to generate family income.

On top of housing,
ARHS also commits to

Free services such as permit support, environmental testing, and advocacy for water infrastructure.
