The Housing Services Division was formed in 2022 to assist with offering a variety of programs to provide affordable housing to the City of Ventura residents. The City also receives federal funds each year through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be used in developing viable communities and creating affordable housing. In addition, the Housing Services Division works closely with local service providers and the County of Ventura to support programs, long-term solutions, and create new partnerships to help connect unsheltered individuals to housing and supportive services.
