Greenbrier Village will be a 60-unit apartment community on Greenbrier Drive between Apple Street and Oceanside Boulevard. The first-of-its-kind community will provide longterm housing to homeless, veterans and low-income residents, and offer them on-site mental and health services. Mayor Esther Sanchez and Supervisor Jim Desmond spoke about the impact the project will have on helping to alleviate homelessness in our area. (County News Center)
