Community leaders celebrate grand opening of Westview Village in Ventura

Ventura, Calif. - The Housing Authority of the City of San Buenaventura and nonprofit BRIDGE Housing is getting ready for the grand opening of Westview Village.

Westview Village is a 50-unit affordable rental development.

The project will replace 10 public housing units with 50 modern apartments.

Located on a 2-acre site at 247 W. Warner Street, on the Westside of Ventura, the development includes 44 one-bedroom and six two-bedroom apartments.

Five of the units will be reserved for persons who are experiencing homelessness.

The property will also include a state-of-the-art community center, a commercial kitchen, two early childhood development classrooms, multipurpose rooms, and a public park.

“This will complete the vision for the Westview Village redevelopment. There will be 285 new affordable rentals and this phase of development will be the hub for this new housing campus. It will include a state-of-the-art accessible playground for all children to be able to play and enjoy the outdoors. The redevelopment is not only for this generation, but it was also planned for the next generation of families”, said Denise Wise, Chief Executive Officer of the HACSB.

The Housing Authority of the City of San Buenaventura and BRIDGE Housing partnered to redevelop Westview Village, the HACSB’s oldest public housing development.
