CLOSED SESSION AND REGULAR MEETING OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL - Apr 1, 2026

San Bernardino will join a new regional housing trust that pools money to build and preserve affordable housing. It costs roughly $31,000-$55,000 a year but opens doors to regional grant funding the city couldn't access alone, with a 180-day exit if it doesn't pay off.

REUNION DEL ALCALDE Y AYUTAMIENTO - Apr 1, 2026

The city is joining a regional affordable-housing funding trust with cities like Ontario, Chino, and Rancho Cucamonga. It costs an estimated $31,000–$55,000 a year based on population, and some members worried San Bernardino will pay near the top without guaranteed funding back.
