Ventura College's plan to build affordable housing on campus has been delayed in Sacramento, but the project is moving forward and the college's president is 'cautiously optimistic' that a bill signed Wednesday by Gov.

But those projects were thrown into doubt when the 2023-24 state budget bill took the money back to help reduce the state deficit.
