San Francisco Residents Challenge Massive Housing Redevelopment Project in Marina District

A proposed redevelopment project in San Francisco's Marina District has sparked significant opposition from local residents.

Suri Cruise Legally Changes Last Name to Noelle, Emphasizing Independence

Suri Cruise, daughter of actor Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes, has legally changed her last name to Noelle, her mother's middle name. This change was confirmed through voter registration records in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where she is a student at Carnegie Mellon University. The decision to drop her father's surname reportedly stems from a desire to establish her own identity as she embarks on her college journey. Suri, now 20, has been in the public eye since her birth in 2006, following her parents' high-profile marriage and subsequent divorce in 2012. The name change was first speculated in 2024 when she graduated from high school using the name 'Suri Noelle.'

HUD Faces Challenges with 24% Staffing Cut Amid New Housing Law Implementation

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is tasked with implementing a new federal housing law, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which introduces significant changes to federal housing policy. This law includes provisions such as the Innovation Fund and Build Now, aimed at increasing housing supply through various local government initiatives. However, HUD faces a 24% reduction in federal funding for staffing in fiscal year 2026, raising concerns about its capacity to manage the implementation of at least 35 new or updated programs and regulations. The Innovation Fund will provide $200 million in annual competitive grants from fiscal 2027 through 2031 to communities that increase housing supply by revising zoning laws and other measures.
