Non-Profit Gets $100,000+ To Help Some Low Income Ventura County Residents Impacted By Coronavirus

A non-profit housing agency on the South Coast has received more than $100,000 in grants which will be used to help low incomes families struggling during the coronavirus crisis.

The Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation received six grants totaling more than $117,000.  They include $50,000 from Wells Fargo Bank, $22,000 from Neighborworks America, and $20,000 from Bank of America.

Officials with the housing agency say most of the grant money will be used for rent and utility assistance for those in need.

Cabrillo houses more than 4,000 people in affordable housing units.  It helps farmworkers and their families, seniors, veterans, and those with disabilities.
