Why Here, Why Now?
With 47% of the city residents on welfare, food stamps, Medi-Cal, or a combination thereof; 38% living at or below the poverty level; and over 50% of the population is living at 200% of the federal poverty level, San Bernardino is the second poorest city in the nation just behind Detroit.

MARY’S VILLAGE
MARY’s MERCY CENTER
Most individuals experiencing homelessness reported a job loss, unemployment or alcohol/drug use as the primary event or condition that led to their homelessness. When Mary’s Village in San Bernardino is complete, it will house up to 115 homeless men for 12 to 18 months at a time.
