The San Bernardino Transitional Assistance Department (TAD) and Department of Behavior Health (DBH), and the Social Work Action Group (SWAG) collaborated to assist individuals who were chronically homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless gain access to benefits and programs. Participation in this collaboration is a key component to ensure low-income individuals at-risk of homelessness or the chronically homeless are connected to the direct services SWAG provides to help achieve sustainable independence through community support. The collaboration between TAD, DBH and SWAG provides an opportunity to build community partnerships while serving residents, in accordance with San Bernardino County’s mission to enhance quality of life among its residents.
