County’s First Navigation Center Opens, Key in Effort to Move People Into Permanent Housing
Redwood City — You can bring your dog, your partner and your belongings.
By making San Mateo County’s first Navigation Center more like a home than a shelter, local officials expect people experiencing homelessness to move in as a stepping stone to permanent housing.
County officials today cut a ceremonial ribbon to celebrate the opening of the Navigation Center, which will provide 240 safe temporary living spaces for individuals and couples along with intensive on-site support services in Redwood City. Shelter residents are expected to begin moving in soon.
