Meet The Organizer
“This is a space built from care, experience, and hope — a place for neighbors helping neighbors rebuild the Palisades we love.”
Who We Are
Our Mission is to see 1,000 homes built with integrity, efficiency, affordability and choice. We’re connecting neighbors with a trusted network of vetted builders, designers, and vetted builders — not a one-size-fits-all solution, but real options that fit your needs and your family’s vision.
Chris Blanchard
Chris Blanchard is a husband, father of three-year-old twins, and longtime restaurateur who operates a restaurant and consulting company. He and his family moved to the Palisades in the summer of 2024, quickly falling in love with the community — the neighbors, the schools, and the easy, welcoming rhythm of life here.
When the fires took their home, Chris, like so many others, was left heartbroken but determined. Drawing from his experience building two homes and seven restaurants, he began searching for ways to rebuild — not just for his own family, but for the entire community.
With the support of his neighbors, Chris and Hank came together to create Building Solutions for Palisades, an effort born from loss but driven by hope. Chris’ goal is to help friends and neighbors navigate the building process with confidence and understanding — showing that by rebuilding together, we can save time, reduce costs, and restore the sense of community that makes the Palisades home.
