SKILLMAN NEIGHBORS

California does not closely monitor adult addiction treatment centers. But because Newport Academy serves children, it must be licensed by another branch of government - the state Department of Social Services - as a children's group home. And that means more oversight... (a) The Legislature hereby declares it to be the policy of the state to prevent overconcentrations of residential facilities that impair the integrity of residential neighborhoods. Therefore, the department shall deny an application for a new residential facility license if the department determines that the location is in a proximity to an existing residential facility that would result in overconcentration.
