Rebuilding with the American Red Cross

Hope Crisis Response Network (HCRN)  is pleased to announce a new grant from the American Red Cross to help families in Altadena displaced by the Eaton Fire.

The partnership expands and strengthens the services Hope Crisis Response Network provides in Los Angeles County, increasing its capacity to support long-term rebuilding, case management, and community recovery efforts for families impacted by the fire.

“This investment allows us to respond to the true scale of need in Altadena,” said Kevin Cox, Founder and CEO of Hope Crisis Response Network. “It supports the people and infrastructure needed to help 100 Altadena families return home. We are incredibly grateful to the American Red Cross for standing with the Altadena community for the long term.”

“The American Red Cross is proud to support Hope Crisis Response Network as they walk beside families in Altadena to navigate the long and challenging path after the Eaton Fire,” said Amanda Ree, Director of Wildfire Long-Term Recovery at the American Red Cross. “This partnership goes beyond rebuilding structures –  it’s about restoring stability, dignity, and hope. This grant helps ensure that 100 families in Altadena are able to rebuild their lives and return home.”

This partnership is part of the national Red Cross Long-Term Recovery Program, which supports individual and household recovery and addresses community-wide needs following a disaster.
