Once complete, there will be 288 units for low-income families, seniors, formerly homeless and residents with special needs, like mental health or physical conditions. By anchoring the housing to public facilities — the library, park and community center — the development will offer residents a city-like atmosphere, officials say, not typically found in unincorporated communities. https://www.sbsun.com/2019/07/28/98-apartments-coming-to-bloomingtons-affordable-housing-community/ 1/7 7/29/2019 98 apartments coming to Bloomington’s affordable housing community – San Bernardino Sun ADVERTISING Affordable housing, new community center The 98 apartments in the new phase will include 10 apartments for Department of Behavioral Health clients and 10 for Inland Empire Health Plan members.
