Housing, Dodge says, is the cheapest way to deal with the problem. He says out on the street the worst-off homeless cost the city $80,000 per person a year in emergency services. On the other hand, he says it takes only $20,000 a year to shelter and care for a homeless person with supportive housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's not as if we're not spending money,” Dodge says. “It's just we aren't getting good results for that money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dodge says that even operating optimally, a lot more would have to be spent to really address homelessness.

In order to prove the experiment is working, Dodge is gathering hard data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city says it is tracking what happens to every person passing through a Navigation Center. Dodge says 80 percent or so of the clients, about 430 people, have moved into housing or in with family. He says that success rate has helped him convince the city to expand the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a way to really tell the story about how we can use supportive housing to solve the homeless crisis,” Dodge says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone is convinced. There are still thousands of homeless people in the city. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/03/01/s-f-clearing-homeless-holdouts-from-division-street-neighborhood\">Tent encampments are swelling\u003c/a> beneath the freeways.

Housing, Dodge says, is the cheapest way to deal with the problem. He says out on the street the worst-off homeless cost the city $80,000 per person a year in emergency services. On the other hand, he says it takes only $20,000 a year to shelter and care for a homeless person with supportive housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's not as if we're not spending money,” Dodge says. “It's just we aren't getting good results for that money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dodge says that even operating optimally, a lot more would have to be spent to really address homelessness. The Navigation Centers will not fix the problem, he says, but he hopes they are enough to make people believe a solution is possible.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

No new philanthropic partnerships. No new sites for navigation centers and no path forward. But it did offer rhetoric.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In my years of public service, supervisors, I've never governed in search of headlines. I do believe in real results, and I know that those who are homeless also count on that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in December 3 of last year, I too, said homelessness had reached a crisis point, but my response included substance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Substance like 522 new units of permanent supportive housing in the last seven months. Expanding the national shelter model my administration created, the navigation center. Ending chronic homelessness for veterans. A new 180-bed shelter at Pier 80. El Niño shelters to cover for 700 people, thanks to the collaboration and cooperation of our Interfaith Council. Helping hundreds of homeless people out of a public health emergency on Division Street and into shelter without having to make a single arrest. Twenty million dollars for a new bond funding for homeless shelters. Creating a new coordinated homeless department. A billion-dollar funding commitment with a goal of subsidizing 8,000 homeless people by 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've held several meetings with HUD Secretary Julian Castro and President Obama's homelessness director. And last month, I led a West Coast mayors funding effort to get more resources to solve homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So much we agree on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I believe we have a vigorous disagreement over allowing people to inject heroin and meth to literally destroy their bodies and their minds in a city-funded shelter as some have proposed. We should instead focus on expanding successful residential drug treatment facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look, we need to build more navigation centers, and I share the frustration of those are critical of how long our efforts are taking to bear fruit. But anger does not help -- cooperation does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, to those who are actually interested in cooperating, genuinely willing to work together, we have a great opportunity. In the six months since I've announced plans to double our navigation centers, I have received very cooperative responses from about four supervisors. You know who you are, and I want to thank you. You have demonstrated real leadership for the people in your district and for the city's homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My administration has identified more than a dozen potential navigation center sites spread around the city and working with the interfaith community and city departments with surplus land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And today I'm announcing a new dedicated project manager, a partnership between our HOPE office and Public Works department with the sole focus of getting new navigation centers built as quickly as possible. We have already begun community meetings and what we hope will be our next to new navigation center sites -- one near Pier 80 and one in the South of Market area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So supervisors, if you want to really help solve this, work with me, work with Public Works, work with the Human Services Agency, and certainly with our Public Health Department and at least four of your colleagues who have already begun that work with me. Work with us to get these sites community buy-in, work with us to make this happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This, supervisors, is a true test of our resolve, and I hope you stand with us in the months ahead as we build these centers, as we staff them up and as we give real help to our homeless people in need as they deserve.

Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland and the state of Hawaii have all taken similar steps recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The declarations address the sense of urgency many people feel, said Nan Roman, president of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.endhomelessness.org/\">National Alliance to End Homelessness\u003c/a>. But whether the states of emergency can spark lasting change remains an open question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think we really know yet what's going to work about them and not work about them, because this is not something we've seen a lot of before,\" Roman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos' primary objective is to get the city to build more \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=gov&group=08001-09000&file=8698-8698.2\">navigation centers\u003c/a> modeled after a facility and program operating in the Mission now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The existing center has reportedly been successful in getting homeless residents into permanent housing. At a City Hall hearing last week, the mayor's homeless czar, Sam Dodge, told Campos and other supervisors it could take another six months to open the next center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were very close to one location and it fell through,\" Dodge said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Campos' emergency declaration passes, he plans to introduce follow-up legislation requiring the mayor to build six additional navigation centers in the next year.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
