The Issue and Why We’re Raising Funds

We are seniors and disabled tenants of Florence Janss Apartments in Thousand Oaks, CA — a community managed by the Area Housing Authority of the County of Ventura.

For years, we have faced unsafe conditions, ignored repair requests, and retaliation for speaking up and for forming a tenant association. Seniors and disabled residents — the most vulnerable in our county — have been silenced when raising health and safety concerns.

But we refuse to stay silent.

We are standing up, organizing, and expanding our movement. Other Low-income tenant communities across Ventura County have asked for our help — and we are ready to share our knowledge and build tenant power together.

This is bigger than one apartment complex. This is about protecting tenants’ rights, health, and safety countywide.

Why We’re Raising Funds

We are raising to fuel tenant-led organizing across Ventura County.

Your donation will help us:

Develop tenant training manuals & complaint packet templates.

️Create local agency complaint guides (for ADA, HUD, city code, etc.).

Host Tenant Rights Workshops, including:

Expand community outreach with flyers, brochures, and local media.

Help expand our website & social media presence to connect and protect more tenants.

Stand in Solidarity with Seniors and Disabled Tenants

This is about dignity, safety, and justice for tenants who have been ignored for too long.

With your support, we will expand tenant power across Ventura County and ensure no one’s voice is silenced when it comes to their health and safety.

Every dollar builds tenant power. Every donation strengthens our community.

Thank you for your support
