The cities of #Chino, Fontana, #Montclair, #Ontario, #RanchoCucamonga, , and are anticipated to assist with startup expenses and ongoing operational costs, while San Bernardino County will utilize federal and state funding to offset service costs. The facility will function as a low-barrier shelter, catering to individuals exclusively through referrals from the county’s coordinated entry system. Beyond offering temporary shelter, the navigation center will also deliver behavioral health services, medical care, case management, transportation aid, and housing placement assistance to support individuals in obtaining long-term housing solutions.
