The mission of the Ventura Social Services Task
force (VSSTF) is to create and implement an integrated
community strategy to end homelessness in the City of
Ventura.
The goals of the VSSTF include
1. involving a broad cross section of the
community, including representatives from elected
officials, governmental agencies and departments, law
enforcement, businesses, social service agencies,
charitable foundations, faith-based organizations,
community groups, pubic and private housing developers,
homeless individuals and concerned citizens;
2. developing a common understanding of the root
causes and circumstances of homelessness, how persons are
affected, and the impact of homelessness on the community;
3. identifying current best practices to end
homelessness;
4. developing and/or adopting strategic
initiatives that identify measurable
objectives, timelines, responsibilities, budgets
and sources of resources,
including funds.
Ventura's VSSTF is an inclusive, all-volunteer
organization. Everyone in our community is invited
to join us around the table to craft the actions moving us
to the day when "Everyone Has a Place".
We meet every 1st Wednesday of the month from
3:15-5:15 PM, at Family to Family, 303 N Ventura Ave
