We steward and build community-owned housing and spaces to bring and keep Altadena home.
In 2025, Altadena Earthseed Community Land Trust was conceived amidst smoke clearing from the Eaton Fire as a community-led and community-based vehicle to address the inequities facing Altadenans as our community rebuilds.
We are fire survivors, community members, and allies building pathways to community ownership in Altadena to recover from disaster in ways that are rooted in justice.
We seek to preserve the diversity of Altadena, with attention to Black, Brown, Indigenous, and working class communities who are particularly susceptible to displacement.
Unified by our shared love of Altadena’s vibrant community and the desire to preserve all that makes our home special, our goal is to restore community access to land for future generations to come.
We are using the community land trust organizational model to connect us together in order to protect the land and its people.

What is a community land trust?
A community land trust is a community-led non-profit that owns land to keep homes and spaces affordable, now and for the future.
The community land trust model was chosen due to its legacy in land justice and its ability to acquire and steward land in community with permanent affordability measures.
