Community Commitment
Dawn Dyer and Paul Sheehan are committed to giving back to their community. They established Dyer Sheehan Group on the concept of “Doing Well While Doing Good.”
The organization regularly contributes to multiple Ventura County charitable organizations. Company principals volunteer with nonprofits including Housing Trust Fund Ventura County, the County of Ventura Continuum of Care, California Lutheran University’s Center for Economic Research and Forecasting, Ventura Chamber Economic Policy Committee, National Association of Women Business Owners, Villa Calleguas Supportive Housing, Ventura County Leadership Academy, and the Boys & Girls Club.
Grounded in a firm belief that Everyone Deserves a Home, DSG has been instrumental in the development of numerous affordable housing communities. The firm has a history of seeking opportunities for homebuilders and property owners to include affordable housing components.
Housing Trust Fund Ventura County
Dawn Dyer founded Housing Trust Fund Ventura County based on the concept that Everyone Deserves a Home. Launched as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2011, the organization leverages public/private partnerships to provide low-cost, flexible loans early in the housing development cycle. As of July 2025, HTFVC has committed $48.8 million through its Revolving Loan Fund, creating 1,900 affordable apartments and homes for various populations including very-low and low-income employees, transitional age foster youth, veterans, farm workers, and the homeless.
VC Continuum of Care Alliance
Dawn Dyer serves as Chair of the Ventura County Continuum of Care Alliance, a collaborative group dedicated to promoting a safe, desirable and thriving community by ending homelessness in Ventura County. Such organizations coordinate housing and supportive services while administering state and federal funding. Programs meet specific needs as people move toward stable housing and self-sufficiency while preventing returns to homelessness.
