Year: 2016

The Bloomington Intergenerational Housing Project is an affordable senior and adult/family housing development containing 106 one and two-bedroom units. The developer has allowed 11 units (9 – 1 bedroom & 2 - 2 bedroom units) for occupancy by MHSA eligible adults and senior clients. The remainder of the 95 units will be affordable to low and very low income individuals and families. The Bloomington Intergenerational Housing Project is a collaborative permanent supportive housing project with Related California, John Stewart Company (JSCo), the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health (DBH), and DBH’s Full Service Partnership (FSP), AgeWise Supportive Services (AWSS), and Mesa FSP. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was approved by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors (BOS) for a housing collaboration to implement permanent supportive housing for individuals with serious mental illness who are homeless or at significant risk of becoming homeless. This agreement is an expression of the BOS’ collective interest to plan and create housing that can help end and prevent homelessness for homeless seniors and adults with mental illness and who are eligible for such housing under the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA).
