Connecting with Social Services
Our Navigation Services program helps with providing services through walk-ins or appointments. Faith In Action offers no cost applications for California ID’s for those who are unhoused. We also assist individuals with accessing basic identification documents, social service programs, and housing resources.
Healthcare Equity with Molina Healthcare
Faith in Action of the San Gorgonio Pass provides Enhanced Care Management (ECM) services through Molina to support individuals and families with complex health and social needs.

Our ECM program focuses on health equity, ensuring that individuals who face the greatest barriers to healthcare and stability receive personalized support, advocacy, and connections to services. We work directly in the community — not just in an office — meeting clients where they live, stay, or receive services.
