Through
the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Ventura County
Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) is making federal
funds available to local residents who would be homeless but for this
assistance. The intent is to help with housing stability. County and city
government have joined efforts to operate HPRP, ensuring that eligible
County residents receive help when they need it most.
Eligible HPRP
applicants may receive various types of
assistance, including:
- eviction prevention
rental payment
- rental deposit
- short-term rental
payment
- credit counseling
- utility deposit
- utility payment
- moving and storage
costs
- case management
Case
managers work closely with clients to develop and implement a service plan
to ensure that they receive full benefits. Through HPRP, clients are
stabilized in housing and assisted comprehensively to help ensure that they
do not face homelessness again.
