WA gives $2M towards group's effort to buy Tacoma motel for refugee housing
An organization working to assist asylum-seeking refugees will receive $2 million from the Washington State Housing Trust Fund to help purchase a permanent home in Tacoma. However, the organization still is looking to fill a multi-million dollar funding gap over the next couple of years. In September, Thrive International brought nearly 200 refugees to a Quality Inn on Tacoma's South Hosmer Street. On Sept. 24, vans and trucks brought troves of suitcases, strollers and garbage bags full of possessions into the parking lot. The refugee families previously lived in an encampment on a field next to a motel in Kent. Some of them had been living there for months, coming from as far away as Venezuela and Angola to escape economic instability, political unrest, and, for some, violence. Thrive International leased the Quality Inn to serve as temporary shelter for the families while they worked to find permanent housing solutions. Since then, the former Quality Inn has hosted more than 350 refugees and asylum seekers. The organization reported dozens of residents have successfully transitioned into permanent housing in recent months from the Hosmer location. On May 20, Thrive International announced it would receive $2 million from Washington state's budget to help complete a $10.7 million purchase and renovation of the 115-unit hotel, now called Thrive Center Tacoma, to become a permanent transitional housing site. Thrive International executive director Mark Finney told The News Tribune the organization is fund raising to close the roughly $7 million gap needed to purchase the hotel. He said even though they have secured some funding from donors, the organization still has a lot of work to do before they are able to purchase the hotel at the end of their three-year lease. Finney said the hotel will cost roughly $9.8 million to purchase, with an additional $900,000 needed to maintain and renovate the building. During a Jan. 16 House Capitol Budget Committee hearing, Jim CastroLang, director of policy and advocacy for Thrive International, requested $2.1 million from the legislature to purchase and 'stabilize' the Tacoma Thrive Center. 'Our Thrive Center model in hotel-type spaces is the lowest cost, highest impact way to support refugees from surviving to thriving,' he told the committee. At the beginning of 2025, CastroLang said a transitional housing site in Spokane assisted 965 residents into permanent housing since it opened in 2022. Along with providing a safe place for refugee and asylum-seeking families to stay, Thrive International provides wrap-around services. It hosts clinics with lawyers to advise families through the immigration process. Local hospitals provide vaccination clinics. It helps parents build resumes and apply for jobs. Local school districts like Clover Park and Franklin Pierce send buses to transport children staying at the hotel to school. In January, Finney told The News Tribune his organization wants to establish a 'pipeline' for those fleeing their countries for a better life here. Thrive International reported an average stay of six to nine months under the hotel model used in Tacoma and Spokane. Finney told The News Tribune it usually takes a few months before families start to gain momentum. Since the families arrived at Thrive Center Tacoma, the former hotel has hosted more than a dozen weddings, and several babies have been born. 'The people living here are not just passing through — they're becoming part of the fabric of this neighborhood,' said Anna Bondarenko, Director of Thrive Center Tacoma, wrote in a statement. 'We've seen a sense of belonging emerge, not just inside Thrive, but across Hosmer.'

Thomas needs drama to advance; Finney rolls to semis
(4)Thomas 18, (5)Athena 13 Olivia Zizzo found Olivia Bommelje for a game winning four yard touchdown with 35 seconds left as the Titans rallied for a Class B quarterfinal win in Webster Monday evening. Zizzo connected with Olivia Smith on a long touchdown in the first half that leveled Thomas with Athena at six. Just before the half, Anna Forman put the Trojans back in front with a TD throw to Emily McMichael. The conversion throw gave Athena a 13-6 lead at the break. Thomas scored once in the second half to draw within a point and might have gotten away with a late Zizzo throw for the game winner. She appeared to lose a flag just before her release. The Titans (11-2) have won five in a row and will move on to face top seeded Arcadia in Thursday's semifinals. Athena finishes the year 10-3. (3)Finney 34, (6)Geneva 14 Lucy Broome had a pair of second half interceptions and Allie Frederickson caught a pair of first half TD passes as the Falcons won a Class C quarterfinal in Penfield Monday. Finney led 28-0 at the half before dueling #7's started trading interceptions. Broome got her first to stop a fourth down play and actually followed with a 21 yard catch for Finney. The next Falcons throw was caught by Athena Tumbelekis, who wears number 7 for the Panthers. Geneva did keep possession for long as Broome stepped in front of a throw a couple snaps later and ran it back for a touchdown. Trinity Maxon had a TD rushing and throwing late for the Panthers, but they could not rally. It was the fifth consecutive win for the Falcons, who improved to 11-2-1. Next up is a trip to Hornell for a semifinal date with (2)Canisteo-Greenwood Thursday. Geneva closed their season at 12-6. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

EXCLUSIVE: Semmes grocery deliverer finds woman having a stroke (News 5 exclusive)
SEMMES, Ala. (WKRG) — A Mobile County family is praising a Semmes woman whose normal grocery deliveries turned into a life-saving moment. 'Healthy Her' in Mobile addresses these common women's health questions (video) Lee was delivering groceries for Spark, a Walmart delivery service, to make a little bit of extra money while school is out — she's a college student at Coastal Alabama Community College. 'I do work in retail at EZN Outfitters, that's my main job,' Lee said. 'I do like to pick up a few Spark orders and Door Dashes as well.' Lee said she was in the right place at the right time on Monday when she found 74-year-old Linda Williams, who was actively having a stroke. 'She did have a screen door, so I could see into the home. And so, whenever I walked up, I could tell she was sitting on the ground, like, almost lied back on the ground,' said Lee. That's when Lee opened the door and offered the woman help. Then Williams said something that caused Lee to become even more concerned than she already was. 'She was like 'I don't know, my legs, they're not working.' Lee walked outside to call her job and some of Williams' family members to let them know what was going on, but by the time she came back inside, things had gotten worse. 'I end up coming inside and she's like 'It's worse, my arms are numb. My arms are numb, my legs are numb, I can't feel anything,' said Lee. They then decided to call 911 and Lee waited with Williams until the first responders arrived at the home. Williams' daughter, Laura Finney, said they weren't expecting a call from a random stranger. 'We were actually surprised to have her call us and then we were very thankful that she did.' Finney said she felt like Lee was Williams' angel. 'I just thank her for helping my mom out and being there and being her angel,' said Finney. 'God sent her at the right time… She's definitely a hometown hero.' Finney is extremely appreciative of Lee, especially given everything they're currently going through. Finney's son, Michael, is a student at Mary G. Montgomery High School. On April 7, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma. When Lee found Williams having a stroke, family members were at the Ronald McDonald House with Michael. 'We really don't know how we're gonna manage all of this,' said Finney. Finney said their family is staying in contact with McKayla — she's even helping out with a fundraising event for Michael. Escatawpa Hollow Park's beach and river access temporarily closed '[McKayla] and my daughter are talking now and she's gonna come help with the fundraiser benefit that we're having for Michael,' said Finney.

Meet Kentucky Oaks trainer Will Walden who sealed success with Bless the Broken after troubled past
This weekend was a proud one for horse trainer Will Walden, who saw his filly Bless the Broken finish third in the Kentucky Oaks on Friday. But Walden's life was in a far different place a decade ago, when he was in a Mississippi rehab facility for drug and alcohol abuse. 'I was kind of open to all parties,' Walden told WAVE in Louisville of his substance abuse issues, which began in college. 'From alcohol to fentanyl, to cocaine use, everything. I didn't take any days off. I was a bottom level junkie.' The son of respected horse trainer Elliot Walden, Will always had a love for racing. 'I mean, it's the one passion I've always had is being around horses,' Walden said. 'I think Winston Churchill says it best, that the outside of a horse does something to the inside of a man.' However, he flirted with death at various points - even having to be defibrillated several times - before ultimately beginning his training career three years go. Though it was not his first stay at a rehab center, Walden's time at the facility in Mississippi proved to be significant as he met Ryder Finney, who also grew up with family ties to the racing industry. Finney recalled watching the 2015 Oaks with Walden while they were both in rehab together. '...Now 10 years later we're here, and it's pretty surreal,' Finney told WAVE. Bless the Broken is short for the hit Rascal Flatts ballad 'Bless the Broken Road,' and Finney added to the network that he and Walden were both 'broken' a decade ago. Eventually, Finney - who is now the racing manager for Cypress Creek Equine - used his power to tap his friend as Bless the Broken's trainer. Cypress Creek Equine owns Bless the Broken alongside Madaket Stables LLC. Walden, whose horse returned $4.78 at Churchill Downs, credits horses with saving his life. He is also a graduate of the Stable Recovery program, which reportedly offers substance abuse treatment alongside 'horse therapy' and industry training. However, Walden also went into this weekend with a heavy heart. A friend from Stable Recovery, Josh Bryan, recently passed away due to complications from jaw surgery at just 33 years old (Bryan was born with a facial development defect). 'To know that he was a part of the ride and the journey that we had here is immeasurable,' Walden told ABC 36 NEWS NOW.
