<P> As of 2014, the city is believed to have approximately 7,000 homeless residents . As a percentage of city population, this is lower than many other major American cities . </P> <P> As of 2015, approximately 71% of the city's homeless had housing in the city before becoming homeless, while the remaining 29% came from outside of San Francisco . This figure is up from 61% in 2013 . Of that 71%, 51% had lived in San Francisco for less than 10 years before becoming homeless: 11% had only lived in San Francisco for a year before becoming homeless . Reasons cited for homelessness in the 2015 survey commissioned by the City include job loss (25%), alcohol / drug use (18%), eviction (13%), argument / asked to leave by friend / family (12%), and divorce / separation (11%). Reasons for coming from outside San Francisco at the time of homelessness include seeking a job (25%), LGBTQ acceptance (11%), to access homeless services (22%), was visiting and decided to stay (17%), accessing VA services or clinic (5%), and family / friends are here (13%). </P> <P> In 2014, the city of San Francisco spent $167 million annually on housing homeless residents . In 2016, total spending (including housing and treatment) was believed to be $241 million annually . However, much of this spending is focused on housing the formerly homeless, or those at risk, but not the currently homeless . The city's shelter program has approximately 1,200 beds, and several hundred people on the waitlist . Even with 1,200 shelter beds and several hundred on waiting list, most homeless avoid the shelter for various reasons such as: overcrowding, safety, and rules that amongst other things separate people experiencing homelessness from their possessions, pets, and loved ones . In 2015 a radical new shelter called the Navigation Center was created to addressed these issues . </P> <P> The Navigation Center started as a pilot program and is a collaboration between the city of San Fransico and San Francisco Interfaith Council and funded by a 3 million anonymous donation and based on the hunch that people experiencing homelessness would be more receptive to utilizing shelters if they were "allowed to stay with their possessions, partners, and pets". The first Navigation Center opened in 2015 at a former school building in the mission district . Unlike other shelters the Navigation Center allows clients to come and go as they please and tries to get them permanent housing within ten days . </P>
