Homelessness services funding
San Bernardino County’s adopted 2026–27 budget includes targeted one-time investments in homelessness response, notably $2 million for the West End Regional Navigation Center (a partnership with Fontana-area cities) and $5 million for the New Beginnings Campus at Glen Helen Rehabilitation Center to support re-entry and homeless services. These allocations are part of broader priority spending while the county emphasizes fiscal balance and slower revenue growth.
