Location is a recurring concern
Some reviewers question the neighborhood and describe it as a bad fit.
A couple of reviews raise concerns about the neighborhood, including one that calls the area “drug central” and another that notes a “bad neighborhood.” One of these also still characterizes the community as a valuable resource, which suggests the location criticism is paired with partial acceptance of the support the program provides. Overall, the location shows up as the clearest recurring downside in the reviews.
