RENT and UTILITY ASSISTANCE

Life is uncertain, especially for those individuals and families who live in near poverty.  By providing rent and utility assistance to those who desperately need help, struggle to make ends meet, or need an occasional hand-up, we are lowering the homeless population in Ventura County.

On the last Friday of each month only USDA beginning on April 28, 2023.

 "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." -Matthew 25:35-36
