The City of Fontana is taking significant steps to address homelessness through a collaborative effort with San Bernardino County. A key initiative in this endeavor is the development of the West End Regional Navigation Center, designed to offer comprehensive services to individuals experiencing homelessness.
Development of the Navigation Center
In April 2026, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved a Purchase Agreement with the City of Fontana, marking a pivotal milestone in preparing the Navigation Center for occupancy. This facility aims to provide a centralized location where individuals can access essential services, including shelter, healthcare, and job placement assistance. The goal is to create a supportive environment that facilitates the transition from homelessness to stable living situations.
Community Collaboration
Fontana’s approach emphasizes collaboration with local organizations, faith-based groups, and community leaders. By uniting various stakeholders, the city strives to empower individuals to regain their independence and restore their self-worth. This collective effort underscores the community’s commitment to resolving homelessness through sustainable and dignified solutions.
Accessing Services
For those experiencing homelessness or at risk, Fontana offers case management services to connect individuals with housing and local resources. Residents can request assistance by completing a case management application available on the city’s official website. A staff member will follow up during normal business hours to provide support and guidance.
Through these initiatives, Fontana continues to demonstrate its dedication to addressing homelessness and improving the quality of life for all residents.
