Santa Barbara’s Eastside is a socioeconomically diverse
neighborhood, with many low-income and immigrant households. For some of these
households, it can be a struggle to provide food, shelter, and physical and mental
health care for the family. The Santa Barbara County 2013 Snapshot of Poverty report designated the Eastside a High Poverty Area, and recommended
co-locating services in such areas.
That’s where the new Franklin Service Center comes in—providing new
services, co-located with existing services, in a high-need area.
