SUMMARY: Housing First advocates in Mobile and Baldwin are committed to helping the homeless by bringing assistance directly to those in need. Recognizing that some individuals face transportation or employment challenges preventing them from accessing services, Housing First organizes outreach efforts to connect with the homeless in various locations. Recent outreach included visits to Walmart bus stops and wooded camps in Tillman’s Corner, where volunteers engaged with individuals to assess their needs and provide essential supplies such as sleeping bags, tents, and hygiene products. Further outreach is planned in Baldwin County and Downtown Mobile this week to continue supporting the homeless community.

SUMMARY: A notice to Prichard Water Board customers alerted them that their drinking water failed a quality test, raising concerns about health risks. The water had elevated levels of trihalomethanes, a chemical used in water treatment. While experts say the issue poses no immediate health threat, long-term exposure could increase the risk of cancer. Patty Webb, a cancer survivor, is particularly alarmed and has switched to bottled water. John Young, a court-appointed receiver, assured that funds are allocated to resolve the problem by the second quarter of this year. Webb, however, has lost trust in the water system and plans to leave Prichard.
