  • S.B. County Develops Plan to Help Homeless Persons During COVID-19 Crisis

County develops plan to help homeless persons during COVID-19 crisis Apr 13, 2020 Supervisor Josie Gonzales said that San Bernardino County has developed a plan to help homeless persons during the COVID-19 crisis. San Bernardino County has developed a COVID-19 Homeless Response Plan that will utilize guidelines from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to identify opportunities to place homeless individuals in temporary housing, according to 5th District Supervisor Josie Gonzales. "The homeless remain extremely susceptible to COVID-19 due to their inability to self-isolate or practice social distancing because of their current living conditions," Gonzales said in announcing the plan on April 13. There are more than 2,000 unsheltered homeless in San Bernardino County, and about 300 of them are considered medically vulnerable because they are age 65 or older and/or have serious underlying health conditions. "We need to move swiftly to get these individuals o the streets and into housing so we can atten the curve for all of San Bernardino County," Gonzales said. The county's plan will focus on housing those who are most at-risk due to age and/or underlining health conditions, she said. "It is critical that we work together to stop the spread of COVID-19. This includes assisting the homeless who live in our communities and have no option but to seek help from others during this time of crisis.
