Funding programs

Over $26 million in funded or committed loans since 2013, ensuring 1,166 affordable apartments & homes are available to individuals and families throughout Ventura County.

THE “REVOLVING LOAN FUND”

The Housing Trust Fund Ventura County ​provides below-market interest rate loans to developers who create new affordable housing within Ventura County.

Eligible projects include:
  • New construction of affordable housing
  • Acquisition and conversion of market rate housing to affordable housing
  • Acquisition and conversion of non-residential properties to affordable housing

Loans are awarded for:
  • Acquisition, pre-development, gap financing, and/or construction of multi-family projects
  • Generally, but not exclusively, short-term (1 to 5 years)
  • Minimum amount $50,000; maximum amount $4 million with Prop. 1 funding
  • Projects with a long-term affordability requirement (30 to 55 years)

Priority is given to projects that serve:
  • Veterans, transitional age foster youth, homeless individuals and families, farmworkers
  • Low to extremely low-income individuals and families

​Eligible applicants for funding include for-profit, non-profit and public agency developers of housing in Ventura County that is affordable to individuals and families of low income, or below. No funding is awarded directly to clients in need of housing. As the loans are repaid by loan recipients from construction financing, permanent financing, etc. the funding is available to loan to other eligible applicants and projects.
