A New Chapter for Interim Supportive Housing
The City of Camarillo officially celebrated the grand opening and ribbon-cutting of the Barry Street Short-Term Housing Community. Located at 2361 Barry Street, this innovative six-unit housing development provides safe, dignified, and stable interim accommodations for Camarillo residents experiencing homelessness.
Designed to offer residents privacy, independence, and a secure environment, each single-occupancy unit is fully equipped with modern amenities. The development includes a larger, custom-designed unit specifically tailored to comfortably accommodate individuals with physical disabilities, ensuring full accessibility across the campus.
Innovative Construction Meets Fiscal Responsibility
Delivered in collaboration with Azure Printed Homes, the project leverages advanced offsite manufacturing and sustainable 3D-printing technology to accelerate construction timelines and reduce environmental impact. RPM Team worked closely with the manufacturer, city leadership, and site contractors to manage architectural design, structural engineering, and code compliance, ensuring a seamless plug-and-play installation.
The project stands as a model of compassionate, fiscally responsible municipal development. Construction was largely funded through federal grant resources, allowing the City of Camarillo to deliver critical housing infrastructure without impacting its General Fund or core municipal services.
Wrap-Around Services & Community Integration
The Barry Street community is built around a transitional, service-first model. Through an operational partnership with Project H.O.P.E., residents receive individualized case management, housing navigation, employment assistance, and stabilization support during an anticipated stay of six to eight months as they prepare for permanent housing.
"Barry Street is more than a place to stay—it is a place to begin again. Each of these homes represents a community commitment to ensuring that Camarillo residents experiencing homelessness have the dignity of their own space, the support of caring partners and a real path forward toward stability and self-sufficiency."
— Mayor David Tennessen, City of Camarillo
A Coordinated Ecosystem for Long-Term Stability
Barry Street represents a crucial link in Camarillo’s broader housing continuum. Designed to work hand-in-hand with the newly ground-broken Arneill Road Permanent Supportive Housing Community, the system creates a clear pipeline from street-level outreach to interim stabilization at Barry Street, and ultimately to long-term affordable housing at Arneill Road.
The project also highlights deep local community involvement. A coalition of faith-based organizations—including Padre Serra Parish, Mount Cross Lutheran Church, Chabad of Camarillo, Crossroads Church, Calvary Nexus, and Camarillo Community Church—provided charitable donations to fully furnish the homes, ensuring residents are welcomed into a warm, supportive environment from day one.
