In partnership with the County of Ventura and Jamboree Housing Corporation, the City is pleased to announce an award of $3.5 million in grant funding to convert an existing motel into permanent supportive and bridge housing with wrap-around services for Camarillo’s most vulnerable. County funding will become effective after the California Department of Housing and Community Development approves, awards, and successfully contracts with all parties in the application.

Addressing homelessness is a City Council priority. The City of Camarillo is committed to providing a safe and stable environment by creating permanent and interim housing with supportive services for individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.

On notification of the grant award from the County of Ventura today, Mayor Susan Santangelo said, “Not only is addressing homelessness a requirement of the State, it’s the right thing to do. We have an obligation to help members of our community and securing this vital funding to address homelessness in Camarillo is a critical step toward building the infrastructure for long-term success.”
