25-year Housing Timeline at the Ventura County Housing Conference

The annual Ventura County Housing Conference is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year! Begun in 2002, the first several years was a joint endeavor of VCEDA, Cabrillo EDC, and HOME (as a VCEDA Committee prior to incorporation in 2006). The first year's theme: A Call to Action: New Alliances and New Tools for Housing in Ventura County appropriately encapsulates the Conference mission to this day.

To celebrate this milestone, this year's conference (Thursday, October 1st) will display a timeline of the past 25 years of Ventura County housing: development, policies, statistics, people, etc. We appreciate your help in putting this together.
