Freddy Sayegh is a 51-year resident of Altadena, deeply connected to its culture, history, and community spirit. As an established legal professional, entrepreneur, and advocate, Freddy has consistently demonstrated his commitment to supporting his neighbors and preserving the unique character of Altadena. His passion for community advocacy has led him to take on a leadership role within the Altadena community, the largest coalition of residents in the area.
Freddy’s involvement in community efforts extends beyond advocacy—it’s deeply personal. His family home, along with multiple family homes, commercial buildings, and local businesses, suffered devastating losses in the Altadena fire, along with both of his children’s schools Elliott and Altadena. This collective loss has strengthened Freddy’s resolve to ensure that rebuilding efforts prioritize the needs of local families, protect community assets, safeguard historical integrity, and create sustainable infrastructure that will protect future generations.
His experience as a resident who has directly felt the impact of disaster fuels his mission to give every family the chance to rebuild without facing displacement or financial ruin. He understands the emotional and financial toll the disaster has taken, and through his work with the Altadena Property Owners Coalition, he fights to address gaps in federal aid, streamline the permitting process, and protect homeowners from predatory developers.
As a resident and activist, Freddy continues to advocate for federal resources to help uninsured and underinsured families stay and rebuild. His work emphasizes the importance of sustainable housing, small business revitalization, and the prevention of profit-driven development that could harm Altadena’s character. By combining his legal expertise, personal experience, and community leadership, Freddy Sayegh is ensuring that Altadena rises stronger and more united than ever.
