The
Homeless Prevention Subcommittee addresses Recommendation #1 of the
10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness
for Ventura by
implementing
"homeless prevention programs ... that will prevent at least half ... of the ...
households who become homeless each year from becoming homeless; and
a community outreach and education
campaign that raises awareness about households at risk of becoming homeless and provides information about
resources available through homeless prevention programs.
The Subcommittee has developed the Ventura Homeless Prevention Fund (VHPF) as a
way to prevent families living in the City of Ventura from becoming homeless due
to an extraordinary set back such as a robbery or an unexpected car repair.
Details and donation information
are available in
English and
Spanish.
Additional
details are in an
article and an
Op-Ed piece
from the Ventura County Star.
The
Subcommittee also works on methods to help landlords, property managers, tenants
and homeowners to prevent homeless situations from developing.
