Riverside County's Continuum of Care funds bridge and interim housing through providers like Path of Life Ministries, Lighthouse Social Service Centers, and Step Up. State zoning law SB 9 and SB 10 plus AB 2339 require expedited siting of these facilities in residential and mixed-use zones.
Bridge housing in Riverside County offers short-term shelter while clients pursue permanent supportive housing through the Coordinated Entry System. State laws including AB 2339 and AB 101 require local jurisdictions to permit emergency shelters and low-barrier navigation centers by-right in zones that allow multifamily housing or commercial uses. Riverside County land-use Ord. 348 has been updated to identify by-right shelter zones, accommodating CoC-funded operators. SB 9 and SB 10 increase residential density potential which the Housing Authority has used to develop affordable supportive housing partnerships.
Local denial of a qualifying shelter or navigation center can be appealed to HCD and voids non-compliant zoning decisions under state housing accountability law.
