San Joaquin County deploys nearly $30M to fight homelessness. How it’s being spent

As California continues to grapple with its ongoing homelessness crisis, San Joaquin County has been awarded nearly $30 million in state funding to create housing for Valley residents in need.

Late last month, the county received $15 million through the California Department of Health Care Services’ Behavioral Health Bridge Housing grant program. The money comes on the heels of $14.3 million awarded last year to county Behavioral Health Services for transitional housing through the same program.
