“Keeping People Housed.”   There is no way to assess the human cost associated with losing one’s home or the impact on a family.

Ventura Homeless Prevention Fund - VHPF

 * 50% of Ventura's homelessness can be PREVENTED simply by keeping people in their current residence.

 * 23,000 Ventura residents are on the verge of homelessness on any given day. -
