Shelter for the Homeless Open for West Ventura County
This year, the West Ventura County Winter Shelter for the homeless will
operate out of the Ventura National Guard Armory located at 1270
Arundell Avenue, Ventura. The shelter is open and will close on Saturday, March 31, 2012, depending on the
availability of funds.
Each night, the shelter will open at 6:00 pm. Dinner will be served
from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. Showers will also be available. Following
breakfast in the morning, shelter residents will be required to leave
the premises at 6:00 am. No transportation is being provided to or from
the shelter. Homeless persons will need to drive or be driven to the
shelter or they may use a Gold Coast Transit bus. The shelter will
provide shelter residents who need to use a bus with two bus tokens.
Homeless persons must provide proof of a recent negative TB test in
order to be admitted to the shelter. The test must have been performed
within the last 60 days. Also, weapons are not allowed in the shelter.
All shelter clients will be screened prior to admission.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is operating the shelter. For more
