HOME was formed in 2001 as a housing committee of the Ventura County Economic Development Association (VCEDA) to promote a diversity of housing opportunities, essential for a healthy and sustainable quality of life in Ventura County.
In 2002 HOME collaborated with VECDA 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.

- Each year HOME organizes the Ventura County Housing Conference, which addresses key housing-related focus areas such as availability, affordability, policies, economics, challenges, opportunities, etc. The Conference is attended by over 200 civic, business, and community leaders.
- HOME also presents quarterly educational Housing Issues Forums, with guest speakers, presentations and discussions surrounding pertinent housing issues and trends in Ventura County.
- HOME was the incubator and fiscal sponsor for the Ventura County Housing Trust Fund (501c3 #45-3191747) and Real Estate Fraud Advisory Team "REFAT" (501c3 #82-1274300).
- Today there is a desire for HOME to expand our education/advocacy/outreach programs, coordinating information on housing-related items in the region. We just began a new media outreach campaign to promote and discuss housing and development issues, and are looking to develop a regular online newsletter.
