• Affordable housing for native seniors planned at 208 Jessie St. in San Fernando (urbanize.city) — San Fernando seniors could soon see 27 new affordable apartments at 208 Jessie Street, backed by a $2.8 million Los Angeles County grant. The project targets residents 62 and older earning 30–50% of area median income, and sits near the future East San Fernando Valley light rail terminus, potentially improving both housing stability and transit access for local elders. 
• Softball: Providence Bounces Back With Win Over Mountain View (outlooknewspapers.com) — Providence High’s softball team, which will soon face San Fernando in nonleague play, just bounced back from a rough loss with a 12-2 mercy-rule win over Mountain View in Burbank. Strong pitching from Madelynn Watts and Kayla Salazar, plus steady hitting, keeps Providence on track in an unusual league-less season where every game matters for playoff hopes.
