Thank you for your interest in supporting the Huntington Beach Navigation Center.

We look forward to rolling up our sleeves with you to address homelessness in our community.  Your support – through donations or volunteerism – will go a long way towards improving the quality of life for our homeless clients and helping them get on the path towards permanent housing.

Support the city’s homeless task force outreach services

Coast to Coast partners with HBPD to provide wrap-around services that address immediate needs and promote housing and job stability.  This includes family reunification efforts, vehicle repairs, the purchase of vital records, application fees, home goods, and rental assistance.
