1. 1 Dead, 1 Hurt In Dearborn Heights Domestic Shooting: Police (patch.com) — Dearborn-area residents are being urged to share any information they have after a woman was killed and a man critically wounded in a domestic shooting inside a Dearborn Heights home on Huron Street. Police say officers forced entry after a reported verbal dispute, found the woman dead and the man with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and emphasize there is no ongoing threat to the public. 
2. Dearborn Families Struggle with Soaring Back-to-School Costs Amid Record $43.3 Billion National Spending (wrif.com) — Families in Dearborn and Dearborn Heights are stretching budgets as back‑to‑school costs climb, with parents in Dearborn Public Schools and Crestwood Schools describing how supplies, clothes, and electronics now strain household finances. Local school leaders stress that supply lists are suggestions and encourage parents to seek confidential help, while nonprofits and businesses step in with free backpacks, supplies, and even haircuts.
3. Henry Ford Hospital Expands Pilot Program for Behavioral Health Across Metro Detroit (dbusiness.com) — Patients in Dearborn now have quicker access to mental health support through Henry Ford Medical Center – Ford Road, the first clinic to adopt Henry Ford Health's Same‑Day Solutions behavioral health model. The expanding metro Detroit program connects primary care patients to same‑day telehealth assessments, shortens wait times, and reduces mismatched referrals so more people start the right level of care sooner.
4. Donate Food, Raise Awareness During Hunger Action Month (umich.edu) — UM‑Dearborn students and employees can directly benefit from Hunger Action Month through on-campus donation bins supporting the Student Food Pantry, which helps those struggling with food and nutrition insecurity.
