Ventura Housing Connections Series
Ventura Breeze
May 22, 2026
If you’ve ever felt a little lost trying to navigate the ins and outs of renting in Ventura—whether you’re a tenant, a landlord, or a property manager—the City has your back. According to the *Ventura Breeze*, the new “Ventura Housing Connections Series” is a free workshop series designed to help all of us build better, more informed rental relationships. Think of it as a friendly guide to the stuff that often gets confusing: your rights and responsibilities, housing standards, and even how to communicate when things get tricky.
What I love about this is how practical it sounds. It’s not just a lecture—it’s a chance to learn about the resources our own Housing Services team and local community partners offer. Whether you’re a first-time renter near downtown or a longtime property owner in the avenues, knowing these tools can save you stress (and maybe even a headache or two). It’s the kind of neighborly know-how that makes Ventura feel like home. Check the *Ventura Breeze* for upcoming dates—and bring your coffee!

VenturaThe Other Side of the Wall
There's something magical about the Ventura County Fair, and Dave Ramser's piece in the Ventura Breeze captures that perfectly. From the hunt for street parking (a rite of passage for any local) to the sea of glow sticks at Marshmello, it's a reminder of why we brave the crowds every summer. The fair isn't just an event; it's our collective backyard party, where the smell of cotton candy mixes with salt air and the roar of the crowd drowns out the waves. For those of us who call the 805 home, the fair is a marker of the season—a time to reconnect with neighbors, support 4-H kids showing their prized animals, and dance under the stars. Dave's story about 'the other side of the wall'—the side where the music blares and the lights flash—is a testament to the joy that happens when we step out of our routines. It's a gentle nudge to embrace the chaos, pay the 'queen's ransom' for parking, and make memories that outlast the summer. Thanks to the Ventura Breeze for sharing this slice of local life.
VenturaSeniors Celebrate Life at the Ventura County Fair
The Ventura County Fair kicked off its 2026 run on July 29, and among the first through the gates were hundreds of seniors eager to celebrate life and community. The fair has long been a Central Coast tradition, but this year's opening day felt especially meaningful as older residents—many of whom have called Ventura home for decades—gathered to enjoy the rides, food, and live music that make this event so special. It's a reminder that the fair is more than just a summer attraction; it's a place where generations connect and where our local spirit shines. The Ventura Breeze captured the joy of the day, and we're proud to see our community's elders taking center stage. Whether it's the familiar scent of corn dogs or the sound of laughter from the carnival games, the fair offers a chance to make new memories while honoring old ones. Here's to a fantastic fair season, Ventura!
VenturaFuture Filmmakers Recently Wrapped Up 2 Weeks of Youth Storytelling
There's something magical about watching young people discover the power of their own stories. For nearly two decades, CAPS Media has been making that magic happen right here in Ventura County through its Future Filmmakers Summer Digital Storytelling Program. This July, over a dozen local students spent two weeks learning the ropes from working filmmakers — writing, shooting, and editing their own short films and animations. It's more than just a summer camp. It's a chance for our kids to see themselves as creators, not just consumers, of media. Programs like this nurture the next generation of storytellers who will one day capture the unique spirit of our Central Coast. We're lucky to have CAPS Media fostering that creativity, and the Ventura Breeze did a great job spotlighting this year's young talent.
