BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Community Revitalization, which consists of the Community Development and Housing Department and the Office of Homeless Services (OHS), coordinates Countywide efforts to address homelessness through the development and implementation of housing and homeless service programs and the coordination of resources and services across County departments and community partners. As a component of Community Revitalization, OHS also serves as the collaborative applicant and administrative entity for the San Bernardino City and County Continuum of Care.
Community Revitalization continues to expand housing and care capacity while improving coordination across County departments. This presentation provides an overview of housing projects completed and preserved during the past year, housing and care capacity currently under development, the County’s CareConnect initiative, and OHS’s development of a three-year strategic framework. The framework will establish actions, milestones, and assigned leads to organizing OHS’s growing responsibilities, align staffing with its work, and guide care coordination.
The presentation is intended to increase awareness and understanding of the developments and services provided countywide, and the roles and responsibilities of the agencies and partners involved in addressing homelessness.
