Anaheim's Homeless Shelter "Navigation Center" Opens to Overwhelming Demand
Anaheim's new$45 million, 200-bed Comprehensive Navigation Center opened its doors on December 26th, and within hours, a line of over 500 individuals had formed, highlighting the severe scale of Orange County's homelessness crisis. The center offers shelter, mental health services, and job training. Mayor Ashleigh Aitken called the response "sobering but not surprising," and pledged to work with county partners to expand capacity. Critics argue the funds should have been spent on permanent supportive housing.
