To provide awareness of the critical need for affordable housing in Ventura County, Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation is hosting its first-ever Affordable Housing Bus Tour as part of its 35th Anniversary Celebration and NeighborWorks Week activities.
The tour, which will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 8, will make stops at four diverse Cabrillo properties, including an innovative LEED certified property, a transformed farmworker property, family housing and a senior property.
In regions like Ventura County, housing costs are among the highest in the nation. The latest median income figure for Ventura County is $88,300 with an average rent of just more than $1,800 per month. Cost-burdened residents struggle to make ends meet, and as a community leader, Cabrillo is doing its best to make people aware of this plight.
Tour attendees will include elected and city officials, business professionals, Cabrillo community partners and media.
Check-in will be at 10 a.m. at Snapdragon Place Apartments, 11094 Snapdragon St., Ventura (parking available). At each stop, attendees will be able to tour the properties and hear about the various aspects of Cabrillo’s mission.
At 12:30 p.m. you will be at the Azahar Place Apartments, 111370 Mimosa St., Ventura.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided. For more information or to RSVP, please contact Jeanette Villanueva, Organizational Advancement Manager, 672-2597 or [email protected]. Bus seats are limited, and reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis.
