The destruction upended so many lives, and yet the community showed up ready to help rebuild stronger than before. My Administration has their backs — we are committed to making sure Maui has everything the Federal Government can offer to heal and build back better and as fast as possible. Throughout these efforts, we remain focused on rebuilding the way the people of Maui want to build by respecting sacred lands, cultures, and traditions. A new emergency shelter is opening in Lexington, Massachusetts, to house migrant and other homeless families as the state continues to grapple with a strained and over-capacity shelter system. On Thursday, lawmakers in the House and Senate, also controlled by Democrats, sent Healey a compromise funding package for the shelter system that imposes new limits on how long both unhoused Massachusetts residents and new migrant arrivals can stay in the system. From complete renovations to a simple remodel, our team delivers every job with the same level of care, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence.
This gorgeous Craftsman-inspired ADU in Hollywood was once a rickety garage
(United Dwelling has since ended that program.) Others are offering modern design or modular construction. An Oakland-based company called Mighty Buildings is even creating 3D-printed ADUs. Thanks to recent state measures easing regulations on accessory dwelling units — a.k.a. ADUs, or granny flats — Los Angeles has been in the throes of an ADU mania. Thousands of applications have poured in from homeowners across the city, and the ADU has proved to be a lab for housing experiment.
A slew of bills aim to improve animal welfare in Massachusetts. Here's what to know
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 2024 as Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. I call upon all Americans to learn more about the histories of the AA and NHPI community and to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities. Last year, the First Lady and I witnessed the absolute courage of the Native Hawaiian people and Hawaii’s Asian American and Pacific Islander communities when we visited Maui in the wake of the devastating fires.

Monster of the Month w/ Colin Dickey: The "Mutes"
Economic Development Administration grant through the CHIPS and Science Act called the Distressed Area Recompete Pilot Program. The proposal will create a Workforce Training System that will help provide child care, education, job training, and employment opportunities for workers in Springfield and Holyoke. The coalition applicants -- one of 22 other finalists across the country -- are currently working to finalize their application, which is due on April 25.
In the early 1920s Frank Lloyd Wright split his time between completing the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo and a variety of commissions in the Los Angeles area. The Ennis House was designed for Charles and Mable Ennis in 1923 and was completed in 1924. The house is the fourth in a series of homes that have become known as the textile block designs done in Mayan Revival style. The right team is the foundation of every successful project, and at MAS Home Services, our team is the heart and soul of our business.
One bill would bar people convicted of animal cruelty from owning another animal; another would extend protections afforded to dogs to other domesticated creatures. Others focus on preventing animal cruelty and others on protecting animals in the wild. The proposals, still under consideration in joint committees, would initiate a systemic review of existing statutes and recommend changes where needed. One would create a misdemeanor animal cruelty statute, allowing a creative way to address and adjudicate cases that do not rise to the level of felonies. At full capacity, the building should be able to house 55 families, according to the state, while officials look for more permanent solutions.
Later, homeowners pay the higher mortgage with the rental income that is subsidized by the Section 8 program. So, for example, the monthly mortgage payment might jump by $800, but the rental income is, say, $1,200. So we are bringing everyone to the table to solve this child care challenge – educators, employers, advocates, and labor. And we’re grateful to the Biden Administration, and their partners in Congress, for prioritizing care and supportive services – today, and every day. I am proud over the last two years to have been able to fund a program here we call the Commonwealth Cares program, which has kept 7,000 child care programs open here in Massachusetts and 4,200 child care educators working.
We've leveraged ARPA funds to launch a stipend program for participants in workforce training programs – to help them by supporting their child care, transportation, and technology needs, among other resources. That is why I launched the first-ever National Strategy to Advance Equity, Justice, and Opportunity for AA and NHPI Communities. This strategy works to harness the full potential of these communities — from combating anti-Asian hate to making government services accessible in more languages. To ensure the legacies of AA and NHPI peoples are properly honored in the story of America, I signed historic legislation that will bring us closer to a National Museum of Asian Pacific American History and Culture. Throughout my time in office, the First Lady and I have hosted celebrations at the White House that highlight the incredible diversity of AA and NHPI communities, like Diwali and the first-ever White House Lunar New Year celebration. This year, to ensure that the full diversity of AA and NHPI communities is seen and valued as new policy is being made, we updated the Federal Government’s standards for collecting data on race and ethnicity for the first time in over 25 years.
She added that they also want their programs to be more explicitly run by local residents. Guevara and Guevara Rosillo, who are building their ADU behind the existing Queen Anne cottage where they will continue to live, broke ground Dec. 7 and are scheduled to wrap construction this summer. Some companies, like L.A.-based United Dwelling, have offered free ADUs in homeowners’ backyards in exchange for a share of rent.
Mukhija credits LA Más — along with other designers, housing activists, academics and creative homeowners — with helping to incubate new housing innovation in a city that’s long been known for advances in residential design. He expects that ADU innovations like Backyard Homes will have ripple effects on single-family housing, multifamily housing and beyond. The project is led by LA Más, a nonprofit run by architects, designers and planners who specialize in urban design innovation and aim to blaze a path for more cautious government and industry to follow. The group helped Los Angeles demonstrate the potential for ADUs in 2017 with a pilot project, building a Craftsman-inspired dwelling in Highland Park with a group that included Mayor Eric Garcetti’s Innovation Team and Habitat for Humanity. Los Angeles has launched a program with over a dozen preapproved designs from top architects for backyard dwellings, cutting the bureaucracy for needed housing.

Recent renovations have stabilized the building and it remains a private residence rarely open to the public. Here at MAS Home Services, we are passionately dedicated to bringing your project to life with precision, care, and professionality. Every project is an opportunity to transform what could be a simple place, into a space of creativity, collaboration, and memories.
Focusing on its neighborhood, Northeast L.A., it also plans to create a more holistic model that incorporates housing, small business support and community-led design programs. Design and construction of homes start at $100,000 for garage conversions or $130,000 for new construction. Through the program, homeowners can qualify to refinance through the Self-Help Federal Credit Union. The credit union estimates the value of the property after the ADU is built, increasing the equity available to borrowers. The new loan adds ADU construction costs to homeowners’ existing mortgage balance.
Reps. Mary Keefe, D-Worcester, John Mahoney, D-Worcester, and Brian Murray, D-Milford, have requested nomination papers from the state but had not brought signed and certified lists to the secretary of state's office as of late Tuesday afternoon. Donald Berthiaume, R-Spencer, said he is definitely running for re-election; however, Debra O'Malley, a spokesperson for the Secretary of the Commonwealth William F. Galvin, said the office has not received all his paperwork to date. Timme cited a UCLA CityLAB study suggesting that ADUs are feasible for 5% to 10% of the 500,000 single-family lots in Los Angeles, evidence that there’s plenty of room for programs to innovate without bumping up against the limits of supply.
