Homeless Navigation Center

THE HOMELESS NAVIGATION CENTER IS NOT A DROP-IN FACILITY

The Palm Springs Navigation Center and Early Entry Facility on McCarthy Road includes 80 prefabricated (modular) units for transitional housing. Both are operated by Martha's Village & Kitchen. This Center offers a low barrier, service-enriched shelter focused on moving people into permanent housing, providing temporary living facilities, and connecting homeless to services. The center utilizes a “Housing First” model to move clients into long-term permanent housing solutions.

Early Entry Facility creates a path to housing where individuals can exit life on the streets, work toward independent living in the residential modules of the Navigation Center, and receive wrap-around services, job training, and case management. There are 50 beds available in this facility (see photo below).

PLEASE CONTACT THE PALM SPRINGS ACCESS CENTER FOR REFERRAL TO THE EARLY ENTRY FACILITY.

Individuals MUST be referred by the Access Center on El Cielo, by the police, or by partner organizations. NO walk up services will be provided. Beds are available for overnight stays only.
