Toward that end, the Camarillo-based nonprofit is planning a 20-acre Veterans Village in unincorporated Oak View.
The complex will provide homeless vets with interim bridge housing such as huts and cabins in a camping environment - but not traditional apartments. It will also offer counseling, therapy and more to help get the vets back on their feet. What we re after is healing and housing in tandem, said Bob Harris, executive director of the foundation, a veterans assistance group founded in 2006. The goal is long-term reintegration back into independence and permanent housing.
Rafael Stoneman, the director of the foundation s mobile veteran outreach program and a former homeless vet himself, said the Veterans Village will be a solution to a lack of affordable housing in our county for vets.
