VICTORVILLE – The City of Victorville announced that the number of unsheltered individuals in the city dropped by 57% in one year according to San Bernardino County’s 2025 Point in Time Count released last month.

Of the eight cities with the highest concentration of homeless individuals in the County, Victorville experienced the greatest decrease (326 to 141) in its unsheltered population.

In addition, Victorville’s overall homeless count, which includes unsheltered individuals and those living in shelters and interim housing, dropped by 27% since 2024 (611 to 448).  

Now, Victorville’s homeless count is the lowest it’s been in five years.

“By increasing access to shelter, medical care, and much-needed wraparound support services, we are helping the most vulnerable in our community find their route to wellness and stabilize their lives,” said Victorville Mayor Liz Becerra.

Becerra goes on to say that the city is committed to further reducing homelessness in Victorville for the benefit of the community.

Since grand opening over 660 people admitted to Wellness Center

At the heart of Victorville’s strategy is its Wellness Center, a low-barrier emergency shelter that offers interim housing, wraparound support services, recuperative care, and a medical clinic on-site.   

With expenses reimbursed through Medi-Cal, the medical clinic and recuperative care are self-sustaining services.  

Since its grand opening in December 2023, over 660 individuals from Victorville streets were admitted to the Wellness Center where they’ve received supportive services tailored to their unique needs. 

Nearly 50% of Wellness Center clients are chronically homeless with disabling conditions, while over 30% are aged 55 or older.
