The City of Ventura is inviting you to
participate in an online
survey
to help inform the use of HOME American Rescue Plan ("HOME-ARP") funds
to serve the following four qualifying populations:
-
Individuals experiencing homelessness
-
Individuals at risk of homelessness
-
Persons fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking
-
Other populations at the greatest risk of housing instability (as
defined by HUD)
Consultation with organizations serving one or
more of the HOME-ARP qualifying populations is a crucial and required
component of receiving this funding for the region. We may also be
reaching out to you individually for a virtual consultation and/or
requesting input at community meetings, but this survey enables us to
gather important information about the needs and priorities for the
populations you serve.
This
survey
is intended to gather input from stakeholders who are serving the
HOME-ARP qualifying populations serving the City of Ventura such as
homeless services providers, shelter providers, domestic violence
service providers, affordable housing providers, veterans’ groups, local
governments, and more.

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
