Good morning, Bloomington.

Home Sweet Home Ministries plans to begin construction next month on The Bridge, a 56-bed shelter village for homeless residents that will be built at the Oakland Avenue and Main Street site owned by Connect Transit — the project is expected to cost about $2.65 million, include single- and double-occupancy units with a central clubhouse, and be finished by early November if construction starts as scheduled.

Elia Ballantini returned to Bloomington after two years with the Peace Corps in Fiji—where he and his group, Mighty 97, helped Wailotua Village No. 2 start a homestay business for tourists by training 30 locals in project management—and he has now handed off his work to a successor to complete the first aid training.

18-year-old Aiden Post, a Richwoods High student recovering from a near-fatal car wreck in December 2024, walked a mile at Donovan Park on Saturday in a fundraiser organized by his cross-country team—his coach said the event supports his family's hospital expenses.
