San Bernardino County funds bridge and interim housing through the Continuum of Care, including navigation centers, motel-voucher programs, and project-based interim sites in San Bernardino, Victorville, and the High Desert.
Bridge housing connects unsheltered residents to longer-term solutions. SBC operates and contracts for navigation centers offering low-barrier entry (no sobriety requirement, partner and pet accommodation), case management, and connection to permanent supportive housing. Funding flows through HUD Continuum of Care grants, state Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention dollars, and Measure-related local funds. Site-selection is governed by California SB 9 streamlining and AB 2339 zoning protections that bar localities from blocking emergency shelters in zones permitting residential use.
Local resistance ordinances that single out shelters for hostile zoning, parking, or notice rules may be preempted under state shelter-siting law and the Housing Accountability Act.
