I find it hard to believe that we are starting a new year and the third year as our community manages our way through this COVID pandemic.\u00a0Now more than ever it is critical that we take the time to connect with each other, stay in touch and make positive impacts on our collective community of Ventura County.\u00a0To that end we are pleased to embark on our\u00a0Coffee & Connection series with our next session scheduled for February 9<\/strong>.\u00a0We already have more than 80 non-profits signed up; we witnessed in our first event in December how meaningful our connections are and how purposeful we must be to ensure we maintain and strengthen these collaborations.<\/p>\n

I also want draw your attention to our amazing Ventura County government.\u00a0We have all worked so closely together to reduce the impacts of this pandemic on our community and the County has done much of the heavy lifting.\u00a0In fact it is so impressive that\u00a0Ventura\u00a0County ranked as the 4th county in the nation in securing FEMA funding<\/strong>\u00a0for our response to the pandemic,\u00a0a remarkable achievement as the county ranks 75th in the nation based on population.\u00a0This success takes partnerships and leadership from the County and we are so grateful to the entire team that made this happen. These funds support local assistance, testing, vaccine deployment\u00a0and Ventura County Medical Center operations.<\/p>\n

Finally, I want to mark the\u00a0close of this year’s VCCF Scholarship application period<\/strong>.\u00a0This year we received 4,267 applications; this is 1,200 more than last year, and by-the-way, nearly 1,500 of these were submitted on the last evening of the application process.\u00a0I want to recognize our amazing Scholarship team (Dr. Cristina Miranda and Malena McKaba) for their tireless work to support our youth and I look forward to again celebrating our scholarships with our \u201cBecause You Gave\u201d video.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the VCCF Board of Directors and Team, please be safe and continue to support our community,<\/p>\n

Ventura County ranked fourth county in the nation in
\nsecuring FEMA funding for pandemic response\"\"<\/h2>\n

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) ranks\u00a0Ventura County fourth in the nation for securing funding for COVID-19 response<\/strong>. \u201cThe County took an aggressive approach in seeking FEMA reimbursement for the County\u2019s $104 million in costs associated with our community-based testing, vaccine, non-congregate sheltering and meal delivery efforts in 2020. This approach was an administratively arduous task; however, the benefit was that it allowed our County to maximize the investment back into the community with more than $150 million in local assistance,\u201d said County Executive Officer Mike Powers.Read More<\/p>\n
