A Texas city’s homeless roadmap pays off big — but shows challenges for Denver as it pursues new strategy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:33:12 GMT

HOUSTON — The apartment complex where Teresa Eddins now lives is so quiet that “you can hear a pin drop” at night, she says — a stark contrast to the constant noise she withstood while living beneath a bridge two years ago.She was one of the first people who moved into a former hotel in Houston that served as a center to help homeless people navigate their way to more stability. She credits the transitional housing facility and programs launched as part of “The Way Home,” the large Texas city’s nationally recognized homelessness-reduction strategy, for the fact that she now lives in an apartment she loves, alongside her adopted dog, Violet. It’s also where she decided to tackle her alcoholism, getting sober.“You don’t ever want to be in those shoes under a bridge — going through a hurricane, going through the cold, going through the winds, going through hot weather, you name it,” recalled Eddins, 63, of her life in 2021, wh...

49ers-Seahawks pregame: Geno Smith’s status in doubt; Niners do Knapp Stair Climb Challenge

SANTA CLARA — Quarterback Geno Smith gingerly went through a 10-minute workout some three hours before kickoff today to determine whether he’ll start for the Seattle Seahawks against the 49ers.Smith sustained a groin injury in Thursday’s practice and was listed as questionable, prompting the Seahawks to add Sean Mannion to the 53-man roster as an option with Drew Lock behind Smith.Smith methodically worked on his pocket movement with occasional passes during his workout. If he plays, expect him to work out of the shotgun formation and unload quick passes rather than test his mobility with zone-read runs.Geno Smith went through a 10-minute workout, lot of communication between throws with training staff, looked very ginger, walked off favoring right leg/groinIf he starts for Seahawks vs 49ers, expect lot of shotgun snaps, no zone read, and lot of Nick Bosa & Co. crashing pocket— Cam Inman (@CamInman) December 10, 2023Smith is only three weeks removed from ...

Biden and Congress are mulling big changes on immigration. What are they and what could they mean?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:33:12 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is taking a more active role in Senate negotiations over changes to the immigration system that Republicans are demanding in exchange for providing money to Ukraine in its fight against Russia and Israel for the war with Hamas.The Democratic president has said he is willing to make “significant compromises on the border” as Republicans block the wartime aid in Congress. The White House is expected to get more involved in talks this week as the impasse over changes to border policy has deepened and the funds remaining for Ukraine have dwindled.“It’s time to cut a deal that both sides can agree to,” Biden’s budget director, Shalanda Young, said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”Republicans say the record numbers of migrants crossing the southern border pose a security threat because authorities cannot adequately screen all the migrants and that those who enter the United States are straining the country’s resources. GOP lawmakers also s...

In coup-hit West Africa, regional leaders recognize Niger’s junta but seek fast return to democracy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:33:12 GMT

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — West African heads of state on Sunday officially recognized the junta in power in Niger, but said their sanctions to reverse the July coup in the country would remain even as they initiate steps for a “short” period of transition to civilian rule.A team of heads of state would engage with the junta “to agree on a short transition program” as against the three years the soldiers earlier proposed, Omar Alieu Touray, president of the regional bloc of ECOWAS Commission, said at the bloc’s meeting in the Nigerian capital of Abuja.The recognition of the junta by the 15-member bloc ends hopes of any immediate reinstatement of Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum, who was deposed amid a surge of coups across West and Central Africa where there have been eight military takeovers since 2020. In the past month, the governments of Sierra Leone and Guinea-Bissau have also described political crises as attempted coups.“The heads of state have recognized that what has happened i...
