Point-In-Time Count

The City of Ventura is looking for volunteers to assist the Ventura County Continuum of Care Alliance with the Point in Time Count of people experiencing homelessness in Ventura County. The count will take place on Tuesday, January 24. Learn more and register at www.VolunteerVenturaCounty.org

This effort helps obtain a snapshot census of unhoused residents and gain access to state and federal grants to fund homeless shelters, permanent supportive housing, rental assistance programs, street outreach, and more!

Volunteers will be assigned a jurisdiction and will go out in pairs to conduct surveys on their mobile devices. Volunteer training will be provided.

Participants will meet at Promenade Park near Surfer's Point, and learn about King Tides and how sea level rise could impact our local coastline. The one-way walk is a half-mile and should last for approximately 10 total walking minutes.

Donate supplies for the City’s Foul Weather Shelter

The Foul Weather Shelter Plan has been launched in partnership with the River Community Church and provides stay warm packs and temporary shelter to people experiencing homelessness during extreme weather events.

The City is now accepting community donations to create stay warm packs for those unable to secure a motel room. Needed donations include rain ponchos, blankets, jackets, hand-warmers, socks, toiletries, soft snacks, tarps, and carrying bags for items.
