Affordable housing applicants should not have the housing available to them largely committed to social service agencies like Helio Health. Dedicating half the apartments to clients of a nonprofit agency serving addicts means chaos. Look what the clients of Helio and other agencies did at the Skyline Apartments: rampant crime, open drug use, multiple police and ambulance calls daily, needles and human waste in hallways, and murder.
