"What we didn't realize at first was that many homes, particularly in Altadena's historic Black community, were passed down within families, often, without proper title transfers. The lack of proper documentation could deny families their generational wealth and disqualify homeowners from assistance programs, further delaying their ability to recover and rebuild. This legislation is desperately needed to ensure communities like Altadena can maintain their identity and culture."
Via CA State Senator Sasha Renee Perez: "The Generational Homeownership Protection Act: SB 293 passed the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee with unanimous, bipartisan support. This bill would allow L.A. County homeowners impacted by the wildfires to bring their property records up to date without penalty. We know Altadena suffered the worst of the devastation from the Eaton Fire that destroyed nearly 10,000 structures."
