Our in-progress Palm Springs Navigation Center has been recognized as a “game changer” in addressing the urgent crisis of homelessness. While the larger project is still under construction, the 55-bed early-entry facility has opened, providing overnight shelter for those in need of immediate support. As Peter Daut reports, “The ultimate goal is for the Navigation Center to be a stepping stone for people in need of permanent housing.” This Navigation Center is being developed with a similar emphasis on addressing the real needs of the unhoused as we sought to create with our Los Angeles Council District 8 Navigation Center. We are glad to see cities beginning to take seriously the measures needed to ameliorate the difficulties so many unhoused people keep experiencing, and to be a part of these necessary teams. Thanks to the Desert Sun for reporting on the opening, and for all their support of this important work.
