The Mission District Navigation Center was comprised of a series of portable classrooms that were abandoned in place and transformed by the Public Works team to serve as offices , dormitories , restrooms , and showers . An attractive new entry gate , accessible decks and outdoor courtyard areas for communal gathering and recreation were added to provide a secure and attractive place to call home . Homeless individuals were provided not only a place to stay but also basic services including meals , personal hygiene access , and counseling . The Mission District Navigation Center was located on a temporary site in the heart of the Mission that has now been developed into affordable housing . The residents of the closing center along with site furnishings , appliances , artwork , and operations team were moved to the Market Navigation Center built in advance of the center ’ s closing .
