Coming Soon · San Bernardino, Riverside & San Diego Counties
There is no dedicated maternity housing in San Bernardino, Riverside, or San Diego Counties for pregnant women experiencing homelessness. Not one bed designed for pregnancy and the postpartum year specifically.
The Problem
A woman who is 34 weeks pregnant and unhoused gets the same shelter cot as everyone else, if she gets one at all — and then she's discharged from the hospital with a newborn and no address.
We're building SoCal Community Homes' maternity program to close that gap. Our first homes are planned for Hesperia and Victorville, serving pregnant women and new mothers experiencing homelessness throughout San Bernardino County's High Desert — with plans to extend this program into Riverside and San Diego Counties as we grow.
Our Model
Purpose-built housing that follows a mother from pregnancy through the postpartum year.
A safe home for the duration of pregnancy, with residents connected to:
Continued housing through the newborn year, with residents connected to:
Perinatal services are provided in partnership with a Medi-Cal contracted doula group — which means the clinical support is already funded, and the housing is the only thing we're building.
Coming Soon · High Desert
Our first dedicated maternity housing program is being built in San Bernardino County's High Desert region, in partnership with a Medi-Cal contracted doula group, with plans to expand into Riverside and San Diego Counties as the program grows.
A pregnancy residence connecting residents to birth doula support, childbirth education, and enrollment help for Medi-Cal, WIC, and CalFresh.
Join the Waitlist
A postpartum residence connecting residents to postpartum doula support, lactation consulting, and newborn care support for the first year after birth.
Join the WaitlistWho Can Refer?
We're currently in the network-building phase before opening. If you work in any of the following fields in San Bernardino, Riverside, or San Diego County, we want to talk with you:
Helping new mothers leave the hospital with somewhere safe to go.
Supporting families and reducing risk through stable housing.
Providing a safe path forward for survivors who are also expecting.
Connecting reentering mothers to appropriate perinatal housing.
Offering an option beyond general shelter for pregnant survivors.
Filling the one gap general shelter systems were never built to cover.
A Question We're Asking
Specifically, we want to know: how many pregnant clients have you had to turn away because there was no appropriate place to send them? Nobody is tracking that number. It should exist.
If you've faced this problem, we want to hear from you — and we want to build the solution together.
