It says that it covers the College Park area just west of campus. So, it looks like it just misses that area, but is close. I'm surprised that it doesn't include this area SE of campus as well:

You make a good point, as some of these neighborhoods are just a little bit of interest by the right people away from being pretty solid/nice again. With people wanting to live in cities again and if they can get the right employment, you never know.
It is also a part of why I mentioned similar programs for the other areas, as some people may not be aware of benefits like this at some of these colleges.
Sometimes hospitals have similar programs for employees and perhaps, if they don't already, it could be something Ellis Hospital could consider as well. An example of this:
