by Benjamin F. Henwood, University of Southern California, Can giving homeless people US$750 a month to use any way they choose help them move into long-term housing? I am the director of the University of Southern California Homelessness Policy Research Institute. My research team, in partnership with Miracle Messages, a San Francisco social services nonprofit, set out to answer that question in a study that will be published in an upcoming peer-reviewed issue of Social Work Research. In one of the first randomized studies of basic income for homeless people in the U.S., 103 homeless people living in California received $750 payments every month for a year. Then we compared their housing situations with people who were homeless but did not receive this money. All study participants met the federal definition of literal homelessness. That basically means they either stayed in a homeless shelter or lived on the streets. In 2022, when we began this study, we expected the answer to our question would be “yes.” Beginning with optimistic expectations A similar experiment in Canada with 50 homeless participants showed that providing 7,500 Canadian dollars in cash as a lump

G enocide and humanitarian crisis overshadowed what is traditionally a celebration of hope and renewal. With fewer than 1,000 Christians remaining in the Gaza Strip, the community marked its third Easter under the devastating war that began after October 7, 2023. Many families are displaced, and churches that once hosted vibrant celebrations now hold only modest prayer services. Community members described the occasion as one of mourning rather than festivity, honoring those killed while clinging to hope for survival. Basic necessities remain scarce across Gaza, affecting even symbolic traditions. Items like eggs—commonly decorated during Easter—are largely unavailable due to severe shortages. Longstanding restrictions, intensified during the genocide, have limited the flow of food, fuel, and essential goods into the territory, leaving residents struggling to maintain even the simplest customs.

Many patients today feel frustrated with traditional primary care—long wait times, rushed appointments, and difficulty reaching their doctor when they need help most. That’s why more people are turning to concierge medicine. Concierge medicine is a membership-based model that provides better access to your physician and more personalized care. It allows for longer, more meaningful visits and a healthcare experience that’s focused on you—not just your symptoms. At Core Concierge Health in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, patients benefit from same-day or next-day appointments, easier communication with their doctor, and a more proactive approach to care. With fewer patients, physicians can build stronger relationships and focus on prevention and long-term wellness. In addition, the practice offers a Wellness Center with classes and nutritional support to help patients stay healthy every day. If you’re tired of feeling like just another number, concierge medicine may be the solution—and Core Concierge Health is here to help you experience healthcare the way it should be.

Recently, my best friend and I were reminiscing about the birth of our friendship during our awkward, middle-school era. Now, well over a decade later, we are still best friends navigating the adult world together from two different cities. Over the years, we have bonded over boy bands, a shared chai addiction, our fan-fiction consumption (which evolved into a love for fantasy novels), a mutual obsession with “The Witcher,” a deep love for Thai food, and, at one point, being fully committed to the emo aesthetic. Since then, we’ve outgrown some of these parts of ourselves, and our friendship has left some of these interests in the past (as well as the questionable wardrobe choices). However, we have noticed a spike in dopamine when we give in to these guilty pleasures. So, as we live lives in our mid-twenties, is the key to happiness actually just fully embracing our inner middle school self? Tumblr, being a teenager, and the age of not GAF! Fourteen-year-old me was unapologetically herself—a true Aquarius by nature—and now I am looking back and taking some notes. Whether it was the vibrantly dyed hair, the skinny jeans, or the horribly applied eyeliner, fourteen-year-old me was onto

The affordable housing non-profit Habitat for Humanity and a veteran local homebuilder are partnering to establish a mixed-use housing development in Powder Springs-It is a project that’s breaking new ground in more than one way. The rezoning to allow developers to move forward on the parcel of land in Powder Springs  was approved 5-0 on a March 17 County commission vote. “This is the first time we’ve built a neighborhood with a partner,” says Kyle Huhtanen, CEO of Habitat’s Northwest Metro Atlanta chapter. He indicates their re-imaged structural arrangement comes out of  an earlier rezoning proposal for building a Habitat-only neighborhood. That proposal was denied by county commissioners more than three years ago. “We felt like the appetite for a community that we would complete with one type of affordable  home or starter home was not aligned with what mainly commissioners felt like they wanted,” says Huhtanen. “It was just a concentrated area of (Habitat for) Humanity homes,” said District  County Commissioner Monique Sheffield of the earlier idea that she came out against. “It also adversely impacts economic development…it just kind of pulled down the median income in the area a little bit,” she added, saying that property owners in
