Resident Grant Program

Ventura Regional FSC offers opportunities to assist Ventura County residents in need with expenses and work related to wildfire safety improvements to their homes. Specifically, for eligible applicants, defensible space clearance and home modifications and retrofits can be offered at no cost to the resident.

Interested in the Resident Grant Program? Please complete the Resident Assistance Program Application. Applications are reviewed based on a number of factors, including but not limited to wildfire risk, presence of physical and/or financial barriers, veteran status, and effectiveness of the mitigations VRFSC is able to offer.

Note: Taking advantage of these services will not guarantee your home survives a wildfire; evidence-based mitigations are offered in efforts to reduce overall risk. We hope to encourage residents to take a proactive stance on preparing and preventing wildfire disasters.

The current application period is open until August 16, 2024. All applications will then be reviewed and applicants will be notified of their status on August 30, 2024.

Attention: Now accepting applications for residents with significant barriers to making fire safe changes on their own.

Some of these groups may include:

  • Residents impacted by the Thomas Fire (2017)
  • Senior residents
  • Veterans
  • Residents living on limited income
