“T.O.\u2019s Many Mansions gets $5M grant to build veterans housing”<\/strong><\/p>\nApartments will be in Oxnard<\/strong><\/p>\nA Thousand Oaks-based nonprofit provider of affordable housing has received over $5 million from the state to build 40 apartments for homeless veterans.<\/p>\n
Many Mansions is scheduled to complete the project in Oxnard by January.<\/p>\n
Along with $5.6 million from the state Department of Housing and Community Development, the nonprofit received $800,000 from the city of Oxnard\u2019s Housing Authority and another $210,000 from the county for the project.<\/p>\n
In all, California Department of Housing and Community Development officials awarded $62 million to build and renovate 12 housing projects for veterans across the state through the department\u2019s Veterans Housing and Homeless Prevention program, officials announced June 12.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe men and women who were brave enough to serve our country should not have to fight another battle once they return home,\u201d Ben Metcalf, Housing and Community Development director, said in a news release. \u201cThe VHHP program helps veterans and their families regain a sense of place, a sense of pride, and peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
Designed by Simi Valleybased architect Mark Di Cecco, Many Mansions\u2019 housing development will include one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, on-site support services and a community room. For rent, tenants will use vouchers provided by the Oxnard Housing Authority.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s already a waiting list to apply for the housing, said Bambi Hosaka, spokesperson for Many Mansions.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce built, the projects will increase affordable housing units by 836 throughout the state,\u201d Housing and Community Development spokesperson Evan Gerberding said in a news release. \u201cOf those units, 470 will be veteran-specific, with 243 of the units dedicated to chronically homeless veterans.\u201d<\/p>\n
Created through Proposition 41, the VHHP program has distributed $238 million to date in grants to fund housing developments. The funding will result in 1,970 new housing units for veterans and their families, according to the California Housing Finance Agency.<\/p>\n
Many Mansion\u2019s project isn\u2019t the first in Ventura County to provide housing to veterans.<\/p>\n
In August 2015, Ventura-based nonprofit Turning Point Foundation opened a $1.2 million fullservice, 10-unit housing program for homeless veterans in Ventura.<\/p>\n
According to the county\u2019s homeless count survey taken earlier this year, 80 veterans were living in homeless shelters or on the streets, up from 77 in 2016.<\/p>\n
On any given night, more than 9,600 veterans are at risk of being homeless in California, according to Gerberding. Instability and homelessness among women veterans and their children are also on the rise, he said in the release.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe VHHP funding generates more than four walls and a roof for veterans who are struggling,\u201d said California Veterans Affairs Secretary Vito Imbasciani. \u201cIt provides a safe place with supportive services that create a ladder for success from chronic homelessness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
