Who We Are
ARC was created to support communities affected by the Eaton & Palisades Fires, providing expert rebuilding guidance and connecting survivors with the resources they need. Independent of any government, brand, or for-profit entity, we focus solely on helping individuals navigate the complex rebuilding process. Our network of architects, engineers, and housing experts work to ensure survivors can access safe, sustainable, and fire-resilient homes.
What We Are Doing
-
We offer comprehensive housing solutions for wildfire survivors, from traditional site-built homes to modular and prefabricated housing. Our team provides guidance on fire-resilient design, zoning requirements, and funding opportunities to help survivors make informed decisions. We also support homeowners interested in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), offering pre-approved plans and consultation services to expand housing options efficiently.
-
Modular and pre-approved housing solutions provide a faster, more cost-effective way to rebuild after a wildfire. Our partnerships with industry-leading fabricators and architects allow us to offer pre-approved designs that simplify the permitting process. We work closely with survivors to find modular housing options that meet their specific needs, reducing rebuilding time while ensuring homes are durable, fire-resistant, and built to last.
-
ADUs are an increasingly popular option for homeowners looking to rebuild efficiently or expand available housing on their property. We provide consultation on custom and pre-approved ADU plans, helping survivors navigate the permitting process and understand how ADUs can serve as temporary housing, rental units, or long-term additions to their properties. Our team ensures that ADUs meet sustainability and fire-resilient design standards.
-
Accurate data and documentation are critical in the rebuilding process. We use GIS mapping and site analysis to capture existing and previous conditions, ensuring that rebuilding efforts align with safety standards and land-use regulations. This data-driven approach helps homeowners, architects, and local agencies make informed decisions about rebuilding locations, risk mitigation, and long-term planning.
-
Recovery extends beyond rebuilding homes, it’s about restoring communities. Our Neighborhood Captain Program connects local leaders to coordinate support efforts, ensuring that survivors have access to resources and advocacy. We also engage in policy efforts to streamline the rebuilding process, working with agencies and officials to remove barriers and improve recovery timelines. Through outreach events, support groups, and direct assistance, we help survivors rebuild stronger together.
-
Rebuilding after a wildfire is a complex and often overwhelming process. We provide architectural support, legal and insurance guidance, and workshops to educate survivors on their options. Our step-by-step checklists, post-fire site assessments, and fire-hardened design strategies give homeowners the tools they need to navigate the recovery process. We are committed to making the rebuilding journey as clear and accessible as possible.
