Celebrating 25 Years of Impact

Founded in 2001 as Ventura County Community Development Corporation (VCCDC), My Way Home has spent the past 25 years empowering individuals and families through financial education, housing counseling, and homeownership opportunities. We have always believed that everyone deserves the opportunity to build a brighter future through financial empowerment and homeownership.

We invite you to join us for our 5th Annual Leading People Home Awards & 25th Anniversary Celebration, a special evening honoring the community leaders, partners, and advocates whose dedication has helped create pathways to opportunity for thousands of families throughout our region.

Together, we'll reflect on the thousands of lives we've touched over the past 25 years, celebrate the people and partnerships making a difference today, and look ahead to the next chapter of our mission.

Enjoy an evening of dinner, awards, inspiring stories, and celebration as we honor the people who are truly leading others home.
