Year-Round Shelters
All persons (children and adults) must have proof of a recent (within 60 days) and clear TB test before they are allowed into a shelter.  TB tests are available free of charge to shelter users at any Public Health Clinic in Ventura County.  Persons who are intoxicated or disorderly will not be admitted to the shelter sites.

Shelters are operated largely by volunteers and donations.  Please recognize both their generosity and some limitations.
