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.
