San Bernardino County Wins $10.5 Million Federal Mental Health Grant; DA Victim Services Get $2.9 Million
The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors in California on November 3 accepted several state and federal grants, led by about $10.5 million in federal Community Mental Health Services Block Grant funding passed through the California Department of Health Care Services, running through June 2028. The county published its Board Actions summary on November 5.
The county expects the mental health funding to serve about 400 high-risk youth, 1,000 adults and 100 adults with co-occurring conditions each year. Separately, the District Attorney's Victim/Witness Assistance program received $2.9 million from the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services through September 2027, funding 37 positions including 30 victim advocates.
Also approved were about $500,000 in Emergency Management Performance Grant funding - about $207,000 of it shared with 12 cities and towns - and about $334,000 from the California Department of Public Health for suicide and overdose prevention planning. The county said each award will be spent as restricted by its funder.
