Victorville Wellness Center: A Comprehensive Approach to Supportive Living

The Wellness Center, detailed on the city's official website, represents a holistic approach to addressing the needs of the homeless. Spanning 4.5 acres, this 26,000sf low-barrier, non-congregate emergency housing project is designed to not only provide shelter but also to facilitate the transition of individuals into stable, permanent living situations. The center includes a range of facilities such as an OSPD Medical Clinic, Cafeteria, Wellness Center, and Recuperative Center, all aimed at providing comprehensive support to its residents.

Connect Homes' Pivotal Role in the Project

Connect Homes played a lead role in this ambitious project —building nearly the entire campus on their San Bernardino assembly line. This includes 110 private sleeping rooms equipped with 170 beds, as well as six community buildings. Across the campus, extensive use of glass strengthens connection with the outdoors and creates a sense of openness and dignity for the residents. The results are clear: it’s all prefab, and it’s one of the most beautiful facilities of its kind.

Connect Shelters: Redefining Emergency Housing

Connect Shelters will change how prefab addresses critical housing needs. The system is flexible enough to be used in nearly any situation where quick, affordable, high-quality housing is required, and provides solutions for multiple housing types: emergency, homeless, workforce, student, hospitality. Designed for durability and sustainability, they can be deployed as either temporary or permanent housing — or both. Their steel frame allows for quick installation and relocation as needed.

But Connect Shelters are not just functional — they are designed with an emphasis on creating a comfortable and dignified living space, whether the user is recovering from a disaster, transitioning out of homelessness, or using the space as an alternative to dorm housing. The use of natural light, efficient space utilization, and modern aesthetics ensure that these shelters provide more than just a roof over the head; they offer a space that elevates all of us.

The Victorville Wellness Center, enhanced by the expertise of Connect Homes, sets a new standard in emergency housing. It demonstrates how thoughtful design, coupled with a comprehensive approach to supportive services, can create a transformative space for those in need.

As Connect Homes continues to innovate and expand its Shelters product line, it stands at the forefront of a movement that reimagines how society addresses homelessness and emergency housing. Our commitment to quality, sustainability, and compassion shines through in every project, promising a brighter future for communities across the nation and beyond.
