\n\"\"A local non-profit is stepping in, in the absence of getting assistance from FEMA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The flash flooding in the morning of December 21st in Oxnard, Port Hueneme and Ventura impacted some of the most vulnerable residents \u2013 including seniors in low-income communities.<\/p>\n

“Ultimately, what it really felt like for this area was like a tornado, which has just left significant destruction in its wake,” said Vanessa Bechtel, the Executive Director of The Ventura County Community Foundation.<\/p>\n

She says funds are desperately needed to help those affected, as qualifying for FEMA assistance has been unsuccessful because the threshold is at least 1200 destroyed structures.<\/p>\n

\"\"“Community members find themselves without any support. We think about the impact, and we’re talking about people unable to go home – many whose homes were just destroyed,” said Bechtel.<\/p>\n

Absent meeting that threshold and obtaining FEMA assistance, residents are left with just one option for help, she said – a low-interest disaster relief loan from the Small Business Administration. However, to qualify for a loan, you must be a U.S. Citizen and be capable of paying back the funds you have borrowed. Many of the areas impacted were home to low-income residents incapable of paying back a loan, as well as undocumented individuals who do not meet the eligibility requirements of the Small Business Administration, she explained.<\/p>\n

100% of donations will be distributed to the community, said Bechtel.<\/p>\n

There’s more information on how to contribute on the VCCF website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
