joining me to discuss the city's efforts to address the struggles of people like hoyt walker are sam dodgeffice of housing opportunities, partnerships and engagement and jackie jinx, executive director of the shelter hospitality house. welcome to you both. sam, it seems like hoyt walk certificate exactly the kind of person that the navigation center is set up to help. it's been open a little more than a year in san francisco. this is where people can move in with all their belongings. even their pets. how many homeless people have you helped? and how many of them have actually ended up with permanent housing? >> well i really appreciate mr. walker's testimony. i felt like it was really honest. and the navigation center is designed to help a people in his situation. we've helped nearly 500 people to date and 81% of the exits have been to housing. we're really proud of the results. i think the major part, like mr. walker was talking about, is the need to have 24-hour access to have a lot of respect for people and understanding that they're the ones that are going to make the major life chang
