Exciting update on new Ventura County apartment community for formerly homeless veterans as well as low-income veterans and their families.
We are thrilled to share the progress of our first project in Ventura County, Ventura Springs, a new apartment community for formerly homeless veterans as well as low-income veterans and their families. With an anticipated completion date of the end of 2024, we look forward to housing veterans and their families as we continue to broaden ACOF's geographic reach. The ten-acre site will be comprised of a total of ten residential buildings which are primarily two-story walk-ups with two three-story elevator buildings. The goal of the project is to create a community that will enrich the lives of local veterans and their families who may have a disability, experienced homelessness, or have economic challenges that have made it difficult to afford quality housing. The site is designed to create a traditional, family-oriented neighborhood where sidewalks are activated by pedestrian pathways and residential front doors that face the street. Of the ten residential buildings, we anticipate leasing up the first seven buildings this fall, with the remaining 3 buildings scheduled for year-end. Our lease-up efforts began in early May with the Housing Authority of the City of San Buenaventura, Veterans Affairs, our co-developer and service provider U.S.VETS, and the Ventura County Continuum of Care. Together, we have started identifying potential applicants, marking a significant milestone in our journey. We look forward to welcoming residents to their new homes soon! Stay tuned for more updates as we move closer to completion and celebrate these exciting developments.

Here is the latest update on veteran unemployment, which continues to be 1% lower than comparable non-veteran unemployment. See the post below for details.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced last week that the veteran unemployment rate was 2.9% in June 2024. This was unchanged from 2.9% in May 2024 and up from 2.7% in June 2023. The comparable non-veteran unemployment rate was 3.9% for June 2024, unchanged from 3.9% the previous month and up from 3.5% the prior year. The unemployment rates are seasonally adjusted and for individuals aged 18 years and over in the civilian non-institutional population.
