Grab your virtual reality headset to watch this VR180 video tour of one of San Francisco's Navigation Centers for homeless people. This video will play on a mobile device or desktop, and you can move your phone or mouse around to see more than you would on a regular video. But in a headset, this tour is an immersive experience in 3D, and it's really, really cool!
As homelessness continues to grow, many cities have started to look for new solutions to help homeless people get off the streets and hopefully into housing. One significant improvement is designing homeless shelters to be places that provide dignity. Homeless people often suffer from years of severe trauma, addiction, and mental illness. Most homeless shelters are horrible places. For anyone who has spent time on the streets, providing a safe place where homeless people can start to heal is crucial to any strategy for ending homelessness.
San Francisco was the first that I know of to implement Navigation Centers instead of traditional homeless shelters. Los Angeles has followed by starting to create what they call Bridge Housing. The basic concept is Navigation Centers will integrate as part of a community-wide system to get people off the streets into housing. The big problem is, there is no housing. The Navigation Center or Bridge Housing model only works if there is housing to move people out of the shelters.
The affordable housing crisis continues to cripple homeless services' best intentions. Navigation Centers are a great idea. We need more of them in every city. But we also desperately need more housing.
Your voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will continue to get worse.
