Ojai Permanent Supportive Housing Project

The jury examines selection of a development manager for Ojai’s supportive-housing project. Eighteen findings distinguish an exemption from lowest-price professional-service bidding from the jury’s conclusion that a fair, qualifications-based selection was still required. Do not conflate that manager selection with construction subcontracting: the report says construction bidding was pursued. Six recommendations address selection procedures, transparency, local alignment and County grant-review practices. These are jury conclusions, not an independent legal ruling. The report does not question the project’s housing purpose and acknowledges substantial staff turnover. No final agency response is supplied.
