SAN BERNARDINO, CA— San Bernardino County officials gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Pacific Village Campus Expansion, a transformative $75 million investment aimed at providing permanent housing, behavioral health treatment, and holistic wraparound services for individuals experiencing homelessness and complex care needs.
The expanded campus will include 58 units of permanent supportive housing, a 32-bed substance use treatment facility, and 32 recuperative care units. Thoughtfully designed to be trauma-informed, ADA-compliant, and rooted in community care, the project will offer a healing environment where residents can access critical support services in a space that prioritizes dignity, stability, and long-term wellness.
“This project is about compassionate care,” said Board of Supervisors Chair Dawn Rowe. “We’re creating an environment where people are treated with dignity and supported on their journey to recovery.”
The expansion is being made possible through a combination of local, state, and federal funding—including $16 million in federal support secured by Congressman Pete Aguilar.
“The groundbreaking of the next phase of Pacific Village marks a critical step toward a stronger, healthier and safer Inland Empire,” said Rep. Pete Aguilar. “By expanding access to behavioral health and addiction care, we will improve the health and well-being of our community. I am proud to have supported legislation that provided $16 million in federal funding to help make the Pacific Village a reality, providing people in San Bernardino County with hope, healing and a second chance.”
“This campus will transform the lives of people who have gone through rough times by giving them a safe place to recover, rebuild, and regain their dignity,” said Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr. “It’s about providing opportunity, not just shelter.”
The County also welcomed representatives from the Governor’s Office, who attended in support of the initiative and reiterated the State’s continued commitment to partnering with local governments to address homelessness across California.
Construction is now underway, and the Pacific Village Campus Expansion is scheduled for completion in Winter 2026.
