At Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation, our mission to build and preserve affordable homes across Ventura County is supported by many teams working together. One of the most essential is our Finance Department, the group who works behind the scenes to keep our organization strong, compliant, and ready to meet the needs of the communities we serve.

In an affordable housing organization, the finance team manages development budgets, oversees financial reporting and audits, supports regulatory compliance, and maintains the financial health of both corporate operations and our properties. They help ensure resident services are supported, projects stay on track, and long term planning remains rooted in stability and responsibility. Their work allows CEDC to keep building communities where families can thrive.

CEDC’s Finance Department strengthens every part of our work. Their skill, dedication, and care ensure that our communities remain stable, our developments move forward, and our mission continues to grow. We are grateful for the heart each of them brings to serving Ventura County.
