San Bernardino County coordinates encampment sanitation responses through the Office of Homeless Services, providing advance notice, outreach offers, and storage of personal property removed during cleanup operations.
When an encampment poses public-health or safety risks (raw sewage, fire, blocked emergency access), SBC posts written notice typically seventy-two hours in advance. Outreach teams visit during the notice window to offer shelter beds, transportation, and services through the SBC Continuum of Care. During cleanup, non-contraband personal property is bagged, tagged, and stored for at least ninety days for retrieval. This approach reflects settlements and federal guidance limiting destruction of unsheltered persons' property without due-process procedures.
Property owners or tenants who dump trash on private encampment sites, or contractors who destroy stored property during sanctioned cleanups, may face civil liability and code-enforcement action.
