County breaks ground on second phase of Pacific Village

San Bernardino County has begun work on the next phase of Pacific Village, a project that will provide housing, treatment and wraparound services for the county’s homeless.

The expansion of Pacific Village is a joint effort being led by the county departments of Behavioral Health, Aging and Adult Services-Public Guardian, and Community Development and Housing. It’s designed to serve those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, particularly older adults, adults with disabilities, and individuals with acute substance use challenges who have historically faced barriers to accessing appropriate treatment.

“The expansion of Pacific Village is crucial because it will provide stable housing and access to treatment for some of our most vulnerable residents so they can get the care they need in one coordinated campus,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman and Third District Supervisor Dawn Rowe.

Pacific Village Phase II will include the construction of a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) facility with 16 beds, a Recuperative Care Center with 32 beds for individuals recovering from hospitalization or illness, and 58 permanent supportive housing units with outdoor access, ADA accommodations and independent living amenities.

In addition to providing safe and stable housing, the campus will offer critical services such as healthcare, mental health support, job training and educational resources.

The total estimated budget for this project is over $75 million. Funding is being provided through a combination of state grants and ARPA funds, and the expansion project is expected to be completed by late fall 2026.
