SF supervisor puts Navigation Centers vote on hold

SF supervisor puts Navigation Centers vote on hold

Supervisor David Campos delayed a vote Tuesday on his controversial legislation to require the city to open at least six Navigation Centers over the next two years.

Campos already amended the legislation to eliminate its most provocative feature — a provision requiring the city administrator to explore the feasibility of a supervised drug-injection site.

The Navigation Center is an innovative homeless shelter in the Mission that allows people to bring in all of their belongings, companions and animals as they seek permanent housing.

Campos had little sympathy for that argument, but he did appear receptive to a request by Jeff Kositsky, the head of the city’s new Department of Homelessness, to delay the legislation.
