The Housing Authority of the County of Monterey hosted a grand opening for its Fairview Transitional Housing Complex this week.
The complex, located at the former Fairview Inn along Fairview Avenue near Sanborn Road, will provide 46 units to assist families and individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
