Rounding out the signature event will be shared lived experience stories as individuals share how their life has been supported by affordable housing. A poetry reading accompanied with an artistic performance by poet Phil Taggart and artist Sienna Browne will spotlight homelessness.
In 2020, Housing Trust Fund VC held its first annual, “Everyone Deserves a Home Compassion Campaign,” highlighting how we can all make a difference in people’s lives, from small acts of compassion, to being part of the affordable workforce housing solution in Ventura County. This year’s, “shaping lives through housing equity,” theme emphasizes the need of providing safe and equitable homes built in socially and economically diverse neighborhoods to positively impact the trajectory of people’s lives and our County’s collective prosperity.

This year’s sponsors will receive a spectrum of benefits, including recognition on Housing Trust Fund VC’s website, within
social media, during the event, and more. With last year’s first virtual event drawing 135 attendees, there is an anticipated growth in attendance for this event, as community visibility and awareness has increased with ever growing housing prices and unaffordability becoming a real problem for too many residents in our community.
