The EIH Bernal site will consist of adult sleeping units with private restrooms and showers, and a community space that will include access to a shared kitchen, computer lab, pet area, and vehicle parking. The EIH site will offer a variety of supportive services, community engagement and direct contributions to help each participant achieve stable housing. Sites will be fully staffed and operate seven days per week, 24 hours per day with on-site security services.
