City of Fillmore Awarded $1.49 Million Encampment Resolution Funding Grant to Combat Homelessness

Posted on: March 19, 2025, https://www.fillmoreca.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=202

FILLMORE, CALIFORNIA – March 19, 2025– The City of Fillmore is pleased to announce that we have been awarded an Encampment
Resolution Funding (ERF-4-L) grant in the amount of $1,496,069.40 from the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD). This funding, received under ERF Round 3 Rolling, Window 3, will support our efforts in addressing
homelessness and providing long-term housing solutions in our community.

This vital funding will bolster a comprehensive effort to provide both immediate and long-term housing solutions for
individuals experiencing homelessness in Fillmore and Ventura County. The City of Fillmore is working in collaboration with
SPIRIT of Santa Paula, Ventura County Continuum of Care, Peoples Self Help Housing, Many Mansions, and CalTrans to ensure
the success of this initiative.

Housing Solutions:

SPIRIT of Santa Paula: Shelter and interim housing

Permanent Housing Partnerships: Peoples Self Help Housing and Many Mansions.

These partnerships will help to address the pressing needs of our community’s most vulnerable population by offering secure
and stable housing opportunities. The blend of emergency shelter and permanent housing units is designed to transition
individuals from temporary to permanent housing, ensuring a sustainable resolution to homelessness.

“We are excited to have been granted this opportunity,” said Erika Herrera-Terriquez, City Manager of Fillmore. “This
funding will allow us to make meaningful strides in addressing homelessness in our community by providing safe, stable, and
long-term housing solutions. Our partnerships with local organizations and this critical state funding will significantly
improve the quality of life for those in need and help create a stronger, healthier Fillmore.”

The Encampment Resolution Funding Program is a valuable resource, enabling communities to develop effective strategies to
resolve encampments and create pathways to permanent housing. With this funding, we aim to improve the quality of life for
individuals experiencing homelessness and contribute to the broader efforts to end homelessness in California.
