San Bernardino County Behavioral Health Plan Update Adds 98 Supportive Housing Units and About $22.6 Million More for Housing Interventions

The San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health in California has released the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Intermittent Update to its Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) Integrated Plan, adding two capital development housing projects totaling 98 supportive housing units and increasing Housing Interventions funding by approximately $22.6 million. The Integrated Plan covers July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029 and guides the county's behavioral health services, housing and related supports; the intermittent update adjusts program information, funding and planned projects following the close of Fiscal Year 2025/2026.
The two new capital development projects, the Orange Blossom Supportive Residences and the Valencia Supportive Residences, will together create 98 housing units. Housing Interventions funding has increased by approximately $22.6 million to support projects through the Department of Behavioral Health, the Office of Homeless Services and Capital Development, and funding for Full Service Partnerships has increased by approximately $4.7 million. About $240.7 million in previously unspent Mental Health Services Act funds is transitioning to the Behavioral Health Services Act framework.
Several programs have also been recategorized. Early Identification and Intervention Services (EIIS), Screening, Assessment, Referral and Treatment (SART), Integrated New Family Opportunities (INFO), Juvenile Court Behavioral Health Services (JCBHS) and the Children's Assessment Center (CAC), previously listed under the Children's System of Care, are now listed under Early Intervention; the Coalition Against Sexual Exploitation (CASE) program has been added to Early Intervention; Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) and the Community Education Program (CEP) have been added to Workforce Education and Training; and the Children's Residential Intensive Services (ChRIS) program will continue as a Department of Behavioral Health program but will no longer be funded through BHSA.
The Department of Behavioral Health is located at 550 E. Hospitality Lane, Suite 100, San Bernardino, CA. The full text of the intermittent update is posted on the department's BHSA webpage, where residents, families and community partners can review it and submit comments as directed.
