BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) â Kern County has been awarded more than 200 emergency vouchers to get homeless people in the county off the streets.
Prior to the pandemic, there were housing vacancies but now there are more than 2,000 people experiencing homelessness and thousands waiting for a place to stay in Kern.
