Stockton supports bridge and interim housing through navigation centers and partnerships with the San Joaquin Continuum of Care. These low-barrier programs offer short-term shelter while case managers connect residents to permanent housing solutions.
Stockton, working with the San Joaquin Continuum of Care, funds and zones bridge housing, navigation centers, and interim shelters as a stepping stone between street homelessness and permanent housing. These programs prioritize low-barrier intake, allowing residents to enter with partners, pets, and personal belongings. Onsite case managers coordinate with county behavioral health, housing-choice voucher staff, and employment services. The city has experimented with cabin-style sites and converted motel rooms under Project Homekey style models. Stockton also draws on its history of mayor-led innovation, including the SEED universal-basic-income pilot from 2019 to 2021, to inform service design.
Operating a bridge-housing facility without proper zoning approvals or service agreements can lead to use-permit revocation. Residents who repeatedly violate program rules may be exited under documented program policies.
