The county has begun temporarily sheltering homeless individuals to help protect the community from the spread of the coronavirus. The state has funded 20 trailers, which were placed at Glen Helen Regional Park in Devore, for the homeless, and another 26 people were placed in a hotel in San Bernardino. Rebecca Havely has more information…
Agreements are in the works with lodging facilities in other cities within the county to house additional homeless individuals and families. The county is exploring other options as well to ensure homeless people who are elderly and who have underlying health conditions, as well as those who are or are suspected of being COVID-19-postive, are sheltered during the crisis.
There are more than 2,000 unsheltered homeless individuals living in San Bernardino County. There are approximately 300 homeless identified as extremely high risk by medical doctors due to their age and serious health conditions.
