From Patch, February 26, 2020
On Tuesday, February 25, the Board of Supervisors approved the lease for a new 75-bed Navigation Center at 888 Post Street. Mayor London N. Breed and Supervisor Aaron Peskin sponsored the legislation to create the Navigation Center to serve Transitional Age Youth (ages 18-24) experiencing homelessness.
888 Post Street will become the City's first Navigation Center for young people ages 18-24. The Navigation Center model provides low-barrier shelter so young people can come inside with partners, pets and their possessions, with 24/7 access, and trauma-informed care. The 75 beds at 888 Post are part of Mayor Breed's initiative to add 1,000 new shelter beds in San Francisco by the end of this year.
"There are far too many young people sleeping on our streets every night, and this proposed shelter at 888 Post will help us provide much-needed shelter and services to those who need it," said Mayor Breed. "I want to thank Supervisor Peskin for his leadership on this Navigation Center and for working to build such strong community support for this project."
