The Housing Services Division has reserved a number of rooms at a local motel for individuals aged 65 and above or those with chronic health conditions. Those who do not receive a room will be given packs containing items to help them stay warm.
People in need of shelter should go to River Community Church at 859 E. Santa Clara St., Ventura, CA 93001. They should arrive between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Staff from the City and County of Ventura will handle the initial intake and screening.
After the screening, volunteers will guide the individuals to a waiting area. They will then be taken to their motel room or given a pack with warm items. The shelter is currently seeking more volunteers.
Those who want to volunteer can sign up and see the available shifts on the website. More details about the Foul Weather Shelter Program are available on the City of Ventura’s official website.
