Rebuild Navigator here to help

Did you know that there are expert Home Builders in Ventura County who are ready to give you free advice in the process of rebuilding your house? The VC Long Term Disaster Recovery Group has hired a few local, retired building contractors, who have built dozens of custom homes in this area, to give you guidance and advice from start to finish. These people are called Rebuild Navigators. And they don’t want your business. In fact, they can’t financially benefit from helping you. But you will get free help with key decisions, like the design, plans, permits, inspections, cost estimates, hiring a builder, contracts, scheduling, and much more.

WANT TO SPEAK WITH A REBUILD NAVIGATOR?

All work with the Rebuild Navigator is arranged through our Disaster Recovery Case Managers. The Case Managers are people who have knowledge of virtually every agency or organization that is assisting people like you with the re-building of their homes and community. They will quickly get you headed in the right direction. You can request a disaster recovery case manager through our outreach partner, 2-1-1 Ventura County, in the following ways:

• Email is the fastest: [email protected] and provide your name, pre-disaster address and phone number so that an outreach specialist can be in touch.

• Or Complete our initial intake form: https://tinyurl.com/VCDisasterHelpRequest

• Or you can also dial 2-1-1 and ask the specialist to connect you with a disaster case manager.

NOTE: No particular vendor, contractor or service is recommended by the VC Long Term Disaster Recovery Group. Anyone, including Rebuild Navigators, working with the Ventura County Long Term Disaster Recovery Group signs a Code of Conduct agreement that states that are not to financially benefit as a result of their advising or guidance.

Thanks to the Ventura County Community Foundation and The Salvation Army were successful in identifying and securing funding for this position.
