In the sixth episode, host Rob Leatherwood and special guest Jeffrey Lambert Ventura’s Community Development Director, share insights into the housing challenges and opportunities in Ventura County. From post-disaster rebuilding to long-term affordable housing strategies, Jeff discusses how policies and community initiatives are shaping the region’s housing future.
Jeff reflects on his experiences following the Thomas Fire, where rebuilding efforts tested the city’s resilience and highlighted opportunities for innovation in community planning.

The discussion moves to Jeff’s new role with the Housing Authority. He offers insights into its mission, challenges, and the people it serves. Jeff explains the long waitlist for subsidized housing, the dynamics of affordable housing, and the importance of initiatives like the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) and Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) programs that aim to uplift residents.

His plans to rebrand, streamline processes, and build partnerships reflect his commitment to addressing the housing crisis effectively.
