Join Us Next Week for Everyone Deserves a Home Compassion Campaign

Our Compassion Campaign kicks off Monday!

For too many, housing is not guaranteed. At a time when acts of kindness matter, Housing Trust Fund Ventura County invites you to join our Everyone Deserves a Home Compassion Campaign. This weeklong celebration takes place June 1st through June 5th highlighting how we can make a difference in people’s lives, from small acts of compassion, to being part of the affordable workforce housing solution in Ventura County.

Star studded Living Room Lounge performances nightly at 7pm on Facebook

“We’re particularly excited about our Living Room Lounge,” said Housing Trust Fund Ventura County CEO Linda Braunschweiger. “Every night at exactly 7:00 pm we will host an intimate one-song performance on Facebook by outstanding singers, including Grammy award winning artist Rick Springfield.” Other artists singing exclusively for Housing Trust Fund VC include singer and actress Jolene Purdy, best known for her roles in Orange is the New Black, Under the Dome, Breaking Bad, and Glee; and Will Breman, Santa Barbara based singer-songwriter and Top 8 contestant on NBC’s The Voice. Joining this star-studded line-up will be local duo, Soul 4 II (part of the Sound Effect Band), Afro-Cuban sensation Ricardo Lemvo, country musician Kenzie Mae known for her starring role in the award-winning feature film, “Chloe’s Mountain” and 11-year-old up and coming musician Aiden Baffa.

The Everyone Deserves a Home Compassion Campaign promises to be a fun and emotional week as Housing Trust Fund VC shines a light on the growing need for more affordable housing in Ventura County. A compelling Facebook Live interview will feature Cesar Hernandez as he tells his story of how his family was helped by affordable housing. Viewers will be taken on a tour of affordable housing developments, hear from members of the affordable housing community, and be invited to share #CompassionInAction tips (click here).

We are also hosting an interactive #Recipe4Home (click here) giveaway where participants are asked to share a favorite family recipe to be entered into a random drawing in which one lucky winner will have their recipe beautifully preserved on a cutting board.

“When we realized we could not host our annual fundraiser and awareness event, we felt it was important to continue moving forward,” commented Board Chair Jennie Buckingham. “Especially now, the need is only growing for affordable housing solutions.” Watch our quick, 1-minute promotional video below and read more about our Compassion Campaign here.
