The Commission on Homelessness is a seven-member Citizen Advisory Group, appointed by the Mayor with the approval of City Council. The Commission provides policy recommendations to City Council on issues related to homelessness (note: the Commission itself does not provide any homeless assistance to individuals). The Commission has a representative at the County Continuum of Care Alliance. In addition, the Commission is represented on the City’s review panel which evaluates applications for funding submitted to the City for various federal entitlement grant programs.
The Commission on Homelessness meets the first Monday of each month from 4:00-5:30 p.m., and meetings are customarily held in the Oxnard City Council Chambers. Commission agendas are prepared and noticed on the City of Oxnard website in accordance with the City’s Sunshine Ordinance.
The current members of the Commission are:
David Littel
Rene Camper-Stewart
Ruby Durias
Yukio Okano
