Navigation Centers

Regional resource hubs that provide emergency shelter beds and co-located supportive services provided by the Coordinated Homeless Assessment and Response Team (CHART) and community organizations. CHART is a group of county departments that complete intake, assessment and linkages to public benefits, mental health, behavioral health, physical health, and employment and housing resources. Regional Navigation Centers have been identified in each of the Service Planning Areas for both individuals and families seeking assistance for homelessness. Regional Navigation Centers coordinate with the other emergency shelter, transitional housing and bridge housing programs within the Service Planning Area to facilitate regional targeting of resources via the Coordinated Entry System.
