About us

The Ventura Social Services Task Force (VSSTF) is a community-based organization recognized by Ventura County and tasked by the Ventura City Council to end homelessness in the city of Ventura, according to the 10 Year Strategy to End Homelessness for Ventura County. This decade-long project started July 1, 2007 as part of a County- and US-wide effort to use a "Housing First" model to end homelessness with the guidance and support of the United States Interagency Council of Homelessness.

Ventura's Social Services Task Force is an inclusive, volunteer organization.  Everyone in our  community is invited to join us around the table to craft the actions that will move us to the day when "Everyone Has a Place".
