Supervisor Kelly Long
Serving Ventura County's 3rd District
Accomplishments
Santa Paula Mental Healthcare – Improving Access and Outcome for Disadvantaged Communities
Supervisor Long worked hand in hand with Santa Clara River Valley advocates and County staff to evaluate and improve mental health outreach and services to the Latino community. Through a series of stakeholder workshops, advocates, elected officials and county officials were able to present the services that are being provided, how these services were meeting expectations, failing expectations and to discuss alternative methods to improve mental health service access and outcomes within the Latino community.
HVPAC – Bus Route to Moorpark
One of the biggest complaints that I get when speaking to Ventura County residents that use public transportation is that there aren’t enough links to other bus service providers in the county. This has been vocalized loud and clear by residents and elected officials in the City of Fillmore that have been advocating for bus service to Moorpark. As a board member with the Ventura County Transportation Commission, I was able to take action on this unmet need and vote to approve adding this connection to the Valley Express bus service.
Somis Ranch Farmworker Project
Supervisor Long understands that housing and a stable work force are vital to the strength and viability of our Agricultural industry. This 360-unit, affordable farm worker housing community not only goes a long way to meeting the needs our Ag industry, but also provides safe and quality housing for our hard working farm worker families.
Piru- Warring Park play apparatus upgrade and replacement
The Supervisor and her staff maintain very close relationships with the community organizations that help advocate for their community. The Piru Neighborhood Council is one such organization that informed our office of the need for updated play apparatus at Warring Park in Piru. Staff communicated this need to our Parks Dept who were in turn able to secure a grant to design and build new state of the art park play apparatus and shade structures at Warring Park.
Supervisor Long Championing Tattoo Removal Equipment
Supervisor Long has been championing the expansion of the Tattoo Removal Program, which provides tattoo removal free of charge with a focus on the face, neck, and hands that are gang or human trafficking related and to help seek employment.
The clinics in Santa Paula and Oxnard were closed in 2020 due to COVID. Both machines at these locations were no longer functioning or usable.
Because of her persistence and strong belief in the importance of this program, the Board of Supervisors, on July 26, 2022, moved unanimously to “Approve the Resurrection and Expansion of a Tattoo Removal Program”. Since that time, new machines have been purchased for detention facilities at the Todd Road Jail and Juvenile Facilities. Another machine was purchased and is at the Free Clinic of Simi Valley. A fourth machine is anticipated to be purchased in September for a facility in Oxnard and a fifth machine for a location in Santa Paula.
Changes to the services, other than the new state-of-the-art machines, include instituting an appointment only system, a priority list for referrals from partner agencies and organizations such as Probation, Public Defender’s Office GEO Reentry, etc. and providing all services free of charge to clients.
