The City of Carlsbad says it's taking steps to address concerns from people who live near an affordable housing facility.
“So that we can get a timeframe and get a chart going. See what goals we have obtained, what the potential is to obtain the other ones," said City Councilmember Melanie Burkholder. The facility opened in 2022 and houses homeless veterans. It also serves as a home for people with serious mental health issues.A total of 762 calls for service were placed since 2022 with over 44% being mental health related.
He and others would like to see the city move the facility to safer locations for residents and those at the facility. Councilmember Burkholder says the city wants the program to be successful both for the people seeking services and for residents, which is why the council says it’s taking action to improve the situation.
