San Bernardino County joined U.S. VETS, the city of San Bernardino and Kingdom Development to celebrate the groundbreaking of the E Street affordable housing development, a project designed to provide safe and stable housing along with supportive services to veterans and their families. The county contributed $5 million through the Community Development and Housing Department toward the project’s total cost of $28.4 million.
“Veterans and their families have sacrificed so much in service to our nation,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman and Third District Supervisor Dawn Rowe. “Our investment in this development is one way we can recognize their service and support their continued success in our community.”
“Our investment in the E Street project is about bringing dignity and respect to the veterans and families who call our community home,” added Vice Chair and Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr. “This development reflects our commitment to honoring their service with action.”
“Our veterans have given so much, and they deserve not only our gratitude, but also access to the services and opportunities that will help them succeed,” said Fourth District Supervisor Curt Hagman. “We must continue building and investing in solutions like this to ensure that every veteran has a place to call home.”
The E Street project will include 30 homes ranging from one to four bedrooms, with half the units set aside for veterans experiencing homelessness. Kingdom Development will construct the homes, while U.S. VETS will provide on-site services, including mental health support, career development programs and peer engagement opportunities. Each home will feature a modern kitchen and bathroom with essential appliances. Community amenities will include laundry facilities, a community center and common areas designed to foster connection. The project is anticipated to open in 2027 and will serve veteran households earning 60 percent or less of the area median income.
The development was made possible by the generosity of Holocaust survivor John Boruchin and his wife Dora, who left land in their estate to support housing for veterans.
