BACKGROUND INFORMATION
San Bernardino County (County) is expanding services on County-owned property known as the Pacific Village Campus, located at 2626 Pacific Street in San Bernardino, to create a model campus that will offer housing and social services to county residents who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness. Unlike traditional homeless projects or large-scale congregate shelters, this development will include an array of housing interventions designed to address the root causes of homelessness and provide a viable pathway to independent living and permanent housing.
The County established an interim housing project by purchasing the 6.82-acre Pacific Village Campus for $3,400,000 using Homekey Round 1 funds. The acquisition included six permanent buildings - one three-bedroom, two-bathroom home; two apartments; an administration building; a dining hall with a kitchen; former church facilities - along with 20 residential trailers and on-site parking. Pacific Village Phase I opened in March 2021, creating 28 individual living spaces to house homeless individuals impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Pacific Village Campus will be part of the approximate $53,000,000 multi-use collective partnership between CDH, the Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS), the Department of Behavioral Health, and third-party management providers to increase access to a safe home environment and resources for overall wellness and self-sufficiency. Each department will use designated funding sources for its respective portions of the campus. The Pacific Village Campus will contain communal areas for persons and pets throughout the grounds such as a laundry facility, sitting areas, shaded spaces, and pet relief areas.
On December 3, 2024 (Item No. 38) the Board approved contract No. 24-1163 to award a construction contract to the W.E. O’Neil Construction Co. of California, in the amount of $47,205,837, for the Project.
On February 25, 2025 (Item No. 28), the Board approved Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 24-1163 with W.E. O’Neil Construction Co. of California. Amendment No. 1 revised the construction contract to include language required by the Community Care Expansion Grant program funding agreement, which supports the DAAS portion of this campus. The Board also approved the Multiple Obligee Rider, naming HORNE and the California Department of Social Services as additional obliges.
On December 16, 2025 (Item No. 36), the County entered into a Restricted Grant Agreement with the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation, a federally recognized Indian Tribe, through its San Manuel Grant Program in the amount of $3,000,000 to support enhancements to the Project. Enhancements provided by the grant will support trauma-informed programming, cultural integration, and sustained resident engagement.
On April 7, 2026 (Item No. 20), the Board approved Amendment No. 2 to Contract No. 24-1163 changing the name of the Community Care Expansion Grant Program Administrator from Horne LLP to BDO Government Services, LLC with no additional changes to the construction contract.
Approval of this budget adjustment will increase the Project budget for Phase II improvements. The $3,000,000 grant from the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation will fund shared community facilities, outdoor gathering areas, covered pedestrian pathways, campus-wide wayfinding systems, and therapeutic landscaping designed to support resident wellness, service integration, and community connection. The grant is restricted to Phase II improvements and subject to reporting and recognition requirements as outlined in the agreement.
