The Housing Authority of the City of San Buenaventura (Housing Authority) and BRIDGE Housing Corporation (BRIDGE) are co-developers in the redevelopment of Westview Village, an existing 180-unit public housing community to be redeveloped as a new construction project providing two-hundred eighty-six affordable rental apartments and thirty-four for sale homes in Ventura, California.
Westview Village is the first public housing property to be constructed in the City of Ventura. The first one-hundred units were constructed in 1952 and an additional 80 units were constructed in 1961. Originally, the property consisted of 48 residential buildings, 1 community center, 1 file storage room, and the Housing Authority office. The total property is approximately 20.6-acres.
The redevelopment of Westview Village (“Villages at Westview”) is an effort to preserve housing affordability, expand the opportunities for housing assistance to other qualifying low-income households, and to contribute to other neighborhood improvement measures including new infrastructure investments and community facilities for a service-enriched environment.

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
Since this property is subsidized in part through the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD), some apartments may have Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) or Section 8 Project-Based Vouchers (PBV). With either type of subsidy, tenant rent payments are 30% of their adjusted monthly income. Households earning less than 80% of the area median income may qualify for PBRA or PBV reduced rents. Some of these subsidized apartments may be reserved for extremely low-income households earning less than 30% of the area median income. If the apartment has a PBV, the tenant may qualify for a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) after living there at least one year. Some rental units in this property may not have PBRA or PBV subsidies and therefore may have higher rents.
