MUSCOY, Calif., July 6 (Inland Empire News Online) — San Bernardino County and its health partners have opened a new 30-bed adult residential facility in Muscoy, adding another housing option for adults with serious mental illness who need structured support while working toward greater independence.
The county joined Helping Hearts California, Inland Empire Health Plan and Molina Healthcare on June 25 to celebrate the opening of the Kern Street Adult Residential Facility, which the county said provides housing and wraparound services for adults ages 18 and older.
According to the county, residents will receive 24-hour supervised care, structured daily programming, life-skills development, vocational training, community reintegration support, behavioral health treatment and coordinated medical care. The county said the campus spans four buildings on 33,158 square feet and includes three newly built manufactured homes, a remodeled residence and a shared community space.
San Bernardino County said it invested $2.5 million in Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention funding and used an additional $1,691,430 in Housing and Homelessness Incentive Program funding provided by IEHP and Molina Healthcare. IEHP said separately that it committed more than $1.3 million in Housing and Homelessness Incentive Program funding to support the expansion.
IEHP identified Helping Hearts California LLC as the operator and described it as a San Bernardino-based community treatment provider that offers transitional and long-term care as an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization. The county said the facility operates under contract with its Department of Behavioral Health.
