There is exciting momentum at Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation (Cabrillo EDC) with several exciting housing projects underway, promising to transform communities and enhance lives. These developments address a critical need for affordable housing across Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.

Among the notable projects in progress is Dolores Huerta Gardens, located in Oxnard. Having broken ground last year, the construction is progressing rapidly, with the structure now taking shape. Despite encountering delays due to inclement weather, the team remains resilient, aiming for an on-time completion by early 2025. This project symbolizes the promise of a new beginning for countless individuals and families eagerly awaiting a place to call home.

In addition to Dolores Huerta Gardens, Village Senior Apartments in Buellton is poised to commence construction, with groundbreaking expected as early as May or June of this year. This development reflects Cabrillo EDC’s commitment to providing housing solutions tailored to the needs of  the local community’s demographics, including seniors seeking comfortable and supportive living environments.

Venturing into Santa Barbara County, Cabrillo EDC is actively pursuing a project in Lompoc. While awaiting final approvals and financing, this joint venture with Thomson Housing holds immense potential to address the housing needs of residents in the region. Similarly, the Camino de Salud project in Unincorporated Ventura County is nearing full funding, paving the way for construction to commence in early 2025, pending successful tax credit applications.

Looking ahead, the Cabrillo Vistas project in the City of Ojai represents yet another major milestone in Cabrillo EDC’s mission to create sustainable housing solutions. With plans underway and initial approvals secured, this development is poised to break ground by the end of 2025, contingent upon state funding and budget allocations.

Behind the scenes, the Cabrillo EDC team is navigating the intricacies of real estate development, from environmental clearances to community outreach and financing. Their strategic approach, coupled with support from CEDC’s leadership and board, underscores the organization’s preparedness to meet the increased demand for affordable housing.
