Sonoma County breaks ground on new affordable housing for families in Santa Rosa
(KRON) — Sonoma County and the non-profit developer MidPen Housing broke ground Friday on 75 new affordable housing units for families in Santa Rosa. The 'Casa Roseland' development will include a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments. The new units will house families with incomes between 30 and 60% of the area's median income, which is about $29,000 to $83,000 depending on family size. Latest tech layoffs hit Meta's Reality Labs division Amenities planned for Casa Roseland include a community room, learning center, teen room, bike storage, and laundry facilities. The development will also have 1,600 square feet of outdoor space with barbecues and a children's play area. Sonoma County Supervisor Chris Coursey, who represents the Roseland area, said that the investment into affordable housing will 'pay dividends many times over.' Cybertruck stuck in mud towed from Truckee reservoir 'Today marks an important moment in our efforts to address our region's affordable housing crisis and ensure Sonoma County remains a place where everyone has the opportunity to thrive,' Coursey said. 'Casa Roseland will provide 75 families with a stable and affordable place to live while advancing the ongoing transformation of Roseland, which has become one of the county's most vibrant communities.' California's Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program contributed $25.8 million for the project.

2 ‘illegal casinos' shut down in Tavares
The Florida Gaming Control Commission has announced the closure of two gambling facilities in Tavares. The commission said its agents partnered with the Tavares Police Department last week to shut down Jungle Hut at 324 E. Burleigh Blvd. and Lucky Arcade at 508 S. Duncan Dr. The commission says the operation resulted in two arrests and the seizures of 125 illegal gambling machines and $62,051.61 in cash. The Jungle Hut seizes included 71 slot machines, six illegal fish tables and $31,887. One person was charged with one count of possession of slot machines and one count for keeping a gambling house. Lucky Arcade's raid yielded 47 slot machines and one fish table, as well as $30,164.61 cash, according to the commission. One arrest was made on one count of possession of slot machines and one count for keeping a gambling house. 'We are grateful for the collaboration with Chief Coursey and her outstanding team,' Florida Gaming Control Commission acting Executive Director Ross Marshman said in a news release. 'Illegal casinos continue to be a concern in Florida's communities, and we are glad to shut the doors on these two criminal enterprises.' The commission is reminding the public that Florida law regulates gambling, and slot machines are only permitted in licensed gaming facilities. These include eight pari-mutuel facilities in Miami-Dade and Broward counties and six Seminole Tribe of Florida establishments. Slot machines or any other unauthorized gambling machines at unlicensed facilities are illegal.
