 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.
