HOME.
OUR STORY, MISSION & VISION.
HOME was formed in 2001 as a housing committee of the Ventura County Economic Development Association (VCEDA) to promote diverse housing opportunities essential for a healthy and sustainable quality of life in Ventura County. In 2002, HOME collaborated with VCEDA and Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) to begin a series of housing-related summits, which transformed into an established annual housing conference. HOME was incorporated as a non-profit in 2006.
