Today marks one year since the devastating LA Fires. While much debris has been cleared, families are just beginning to start over, and there is still work to be done. In 2026 we will continue to support fire-impacted communities through sustained partnership with Better Angels, The Greenline Housing Foundation, The Shared Harvest Foundation, The Jewish Federation Los Angeles, SoCal NOMA, and Tennex Builders to expand our ADU Housing Initiative, focusing on helping families rebuild, not relocate. With support from The Jewish Federation Los Angeles, The SoLa Foundation is also launching a workforce development program for fire-impacted individuals in collaboration with MODEL/Z this month. Recovery takes time. Rebuilding takes partnership. Lasting resilience takes all of us. If you’re interested in joining our ongoing fire relief and rebuilding efforts, please reach out to [email protected] to learn how you can get involved.

22 buildings in 3 years. Over 1,300 affordable homes delivered. We closed out the year with our 22nd Certificate of Occupancy at Project Whittier, a 70-unit affordable housing community located next to El Camino Public Library and Salazar Park. Thoughtful design, walkable access, and real affordability. 22 down. More to go.

We had an incredible time touring SoLa Impact’s Model Z Factory with REAG. Grateful for the opportunity to see firsthand how modular innovation is shaping affordable housing and creating economic opportunity in South LA. 🚀🏙️ #UCLAAnderson #REAG #SoLaImpact

Building faster, building local: why we launched Model/Z When we opened a factory in Watts last year, the goal was clear: produce complete, steel-framed housing at the pace Los Angeles needs. Today, that line has been able to turn out over two fully finished ADUs every day, each with 383 quality checks and a workforce drawn mostly from South LA.
