San Francisco opened a brand new homeless navigation center on Friday near U.S. Highway 101 that was previously used as parking lot by Caltrans.
State and city officials held a ribbon cutting at the Division Circle Navigation Center that will provide services for up to 125 homeless individuals. The site is at 224-242 South Van Ness Ave.

The City was able to lease out the parking lot owned by Caltrans thanks in part to Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco.
Ting authored Assembly Bill 857 which allows the leasing of Caltrans land for emergency food and shelters. He also secured $10 million for The City in last year’s state budget to open two navigation centers.
