Give a gift to El Sereno CLT
Rendering of the future rehabilitation of the former Caltrans Home, La Casa de las Mariposas with earthen materials.
We are seeking to raise $1M to transform a former Caltrans property into a model of sustainable, community-centered housing.
Your support will help us rehabilitate a two-bedroom, one-bath single-family home using earth-based construction methods.
To increase housing density and functionality, we plan to convert the attached garage into a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (Jr. ADU) and construct a separate ADU in the backyard.
Our vision extends beyond construction. We aim to empower residents to actively participate in maintaining and managing their homes. By adopting a co-housing and shared-energy model, we will lower individual housing costs, utilize shared renewable energy systems, and strengthen community resilience and self-governance.
Additionally, we are committed to advancing education, research, advocacy, and narrative change that challenges inequitable housing systems, promotes community ownership, and builds collective power.
You can support us by donating online contacting us directly, or mailing a check to:
