Rutherford Housing/Homelessness Q3
In addition to increasing efforts to provide mental health support, substance abuse treatment and other social services to those who need it, we need to focus on helping homeless individuals find jobs. Here in San Bernardino County, we are partnering with a nonprofit staffing agency to provide job coaching, placement, transportation assistance, and other support for persons experiencing homelessness and those on the verge of becoming homeless. This is a huge multi-dimensional problem in need of complex and innovative solutions.
