About Kevin Clerici

CLERICI, KEVIN has been a staff writer at The Ventura County Star since 2004, covering the cities of Ventura and Ojai.

Both the California Newspaper Publishers Association and California Society of Newspaper Editors have recognized his work. This year, he was named a “Champion of Mental Health” by the Turning Point Foundation and received state and Congressional recognition for a series of articles putting a human face on Ventura’s intractable homeless population, many of whom are mentally ill, and the creation of the city’s River Haven tent community.
