Housing Trust Fund Ventura County’s 5th Annual Compassion Campaign – Unlocking Affordable Living is quickly approaching on Thursday, May 9th. Now is the time to secure your seat! Join community leaders and affordable housing advocates for a memorable evening of reimagining and reshaping the vision for the future of affordable housing in Ventura County.
As a guest you will learn about innovative housing solutions from guest speakers, including Mark Stivers, Director of Advocacy for the California Housing Partnership, a private nonprofit organization created by the State Legislature in 1988 to help provide housing that is sustainable and affordable for working families, homeless, veterans, seniors and disabled individuals. Alex Russell, CEO of Homes & Hope and Chair of the Housing Land Trust VC, will also speak on leveraging public land for housing affordability. We’ll showcase two case studies from the developers at Mesa in Ojai who are focused on supporting transitional age young adults at risk of homelessness, and The Villages at Westview developed by the Housing Authority of the City of San Buenaventura. Westview replaces the city’s oldest and largest public housing complex.
Guests will be invited to stroll through a path of innovations, including observing the ingenuity of using energy-efficient structural insulated panel (SIP) walls allowing for quick and cost-effective onsite assembly. An oversize map will showcase the many developments funded in part by Housing Trust Fund VC across the County since 2013. Each guest will receive a key to “unlock affordable living” with three lucky winners receiving special prizes.
