Nonprofit failed to obtain financing for 16-unit complex purchased for its housing-for-the-homeless program
Carlsbad's City Council could decide to buy a 16-unit apartment complex from Solutions for Change after the nonprofit that provides services to homeless families failed to obtain the funding it needed to include the property in its residential program. The city loaned $3.1 million to Solutions for Change to purchase the Chestnut Avenue buildings in 2015.
CEO Chris Megison has said the housing first policy does not provide the personal accountability needed for the Solutions program. Megison and his wife, Tammy, founded Solutions for Change in 1999. Megiston reportedly is in negotiations to buy a portion of the 138-acre Green Oak Ranch, south of state Route 78 in Vista. Green Oak Ministries has operated a Christian drug and alcohol recovery program for men on a piece of the property since the late 1990s.
