Plumas crisis center describes North Star navigation center, tiny‑home plans and workforce training
Summary
Plumas Crisis Intervention and Resource Center staff told the county Behavioral Health Commission that North Star Navigation Center offers hands‑on transitional programming for unhoused residents, has housed 31 people since opening, and is planning 26 permanent tiny homes behind the facility.
The Plumas County Behavioral Health Commission heard a presentation from Kate Romire, executive director of the Plumas Crisis Intervention and Resource Center, about services at the North Star Navigation Center in Quincy and related programs including Dragonfly Cafe and Ohana Village.
Romire said North Star is a “navigation center” rather than a shelter: residents participate in individualized case plans that typically run several months, receive three meals a day and on‑site support, and have access to staff 24 hours a day. The center has separate male and female bunk rooms plus three family rooms and can house 27 people at a time. Since opening in November, the center has taken 31 residents and reports a roughly 52% success rate for exits to stable situations.
