RE: REQUEST TO RATIFY APPOINTMENT OF RESIDENT COMMISSIONER TO THE AREA HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF VENTURA’S (AHA’s) BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS
In accordance with State law and the U.S. Housing Act, one member of AHA's Board of Commissioners is appointed to represent housing authority residents as a Resident Commissioner. The Resident Commissioner must be a resident of a Public Housing development or a Section 8 tenant-based voucher participant residing in an AHA unit. The appointment must be ratified by the AHA’s jurisdictions.
Following an open nomination period, review of applications from interested candidates and subsequent interviews, Ms. Angela Bradley, a public housing resident, was selected for a two-year re-appointment, June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2027.
On May 28, 2025, the Board of Commissioners directed that all jurisdictions were to be notified of the selection of Ms. Angela Bradley as Resident Commissioner and to request ratification. The AHA respectfully requests that the City of Thousand Oaks confirm or deny the appointment and forward a copy of the official documentation as evidence of your decision. Please provide a copy of the City’s official document by June 24, 2025.
Thank you for your attention to this request. Please contact me at (805) 480-9991, extension 390, should you have questions.
Sincerely,
Carrie Sabatini
Deputy Executive Director/Director of Housing Programs

e-Chair Ramos-Cruz was appointed by Chair Lunn to lead the Ad Hoc Resident Commissioner Interview Committee (April 23, 2025). Commissioner Ponce volunteered to participate on the Ad Hoc Committee.
The Ad Hoc Resident Commissioner Interview Committee held in-person interviews for the two resident candidates in the AHA Board Room on May 5, 2025. Both interviews were monitored by an AHA manager to ensure both candidates were treated equally. Once the interviews concluded, the Ad Hoc Committee met to discuss the candidates.
After significant discussion, review and consideration, the Ad Hoc Committee is prepared to submit their recommendation for Board acceptance.
The Committee respectfully requests acceptance of their recommendation and asks the Board Chair to direct staff to seek ratification by all jurisdictions.
