Inside IV: Preparing for Move-In, Policing, Safety and Jobs

Fall quarter at UC Santa Barbara is still weeks away, but it’s not too early for Isla Vista community leaders to prepare to welcome new residents.

KCSB’s Dick Flacks speaks with Jonathan Abboud, general manager of the Isla Vista Community Services District (IVCSD), about the housing situation in Isla Vista for students and UC Santa Barbara staff, following a severe housing crisis during the past school year. Jonathan also explains other ways in which the IVCSD is informing residents about what IV has to offer, as well as community policing efforts, dangers of ocean cliff/bluff erosion and other public safety concerns and resources.
