San Mateo County officials on Tuesday cut the ceremonial ribbon to celebrate the grand opening of the Navigation Center, which will provide 240 safe, temporary housing spaces for homeless individuals and couples.
Located in Redwood City, the Navigation Center is designed to serve up to 260 homeless San Mateo County residents who may be reluctant to go to traditional shelters.
Unlike a traditional shelter, the Navigation Center allows couples to stay together, have privacy, pet owners can bring their animals, and clients can store many of their belongings.
