HUD Overhauls Federal Homelessness Assistance

Today, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced a new Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for $4.04 billion to better serve America’s vulnerable populations through the Continuum of Care (CoC) homelessness assistance program.

“The ‘housing first’ experiment failed Americans by warehousing the vulnerable without results. This ideology promised to end homelessness. Instead, billions of taxpayer dollars were spent while homelessness increased to record levels. Housing alone will not solve a crisis driven by addiction and mental illness. Under President Trump’s leadership, HUD is making necessary reforms to put recovery first,” said Secretary Scott Turner.

Congressman Van Drew Tours Delaney Hall Detention Center

Congressman Van Drew toured the Delaney Hall Detention Facility to see the conditions, operations, and law enforcement response for himself.
“I toured Delaney Hall today because I wanted to see the facts with my own eyes,” said Congressman Van Drew. “What I saw was very different from the political story being pushed by some of my Democrat colleagues. The facility has doctors, nurses, and dentists providing medical care. There is a law library for detainees to study their cases along with a regular library, and large spaces for recreation, including a soccer field and a gym. The food service provides menu options for religious needs, kosher meals, allergies, and other dietary restrictions. I saw good conditions, clean facilities, basic care, and a detention center where ICE and DHS are doing a hard job that keeps our communities safe. Quite frankly, the conditions I saw today are better than what you see in some nursing homes. Let’s be honest about who is being held here. These are illegal immigrants with criminal histories involving drug trafficking, weapons charges, assault, fraud, money laundering, cocaine distribution, and other serious offenses. They are exactly the kind of people ICE should be taking off our streets.
“Americans have every right to peacefully protest, but when you throw objects at officers, assault law enforcement, block federal agents, and riot outside a detention facility, you are breaking the law. Local police must keep working with ICE, DHS, and federal law enforcement to maintain order. ICE and DHS are doing their job, and I will continue to stand with the men and women who protect the American people.”

The annual Paddlefest at Janes Island State Park takes place June 6-7, offering an opportunity to explore the salt marshes and water trails of Maryland’s southernmost park.

Janes Island State Park boasts more than 30 miles of water trails, weaving in and out of the 2,900 acres of salt marsh which compose the island. This park offers visitors a unique opportunity to enjoy both the beauty and bounty of the Chesapeake Bay.

Paddlefest includes nine scheduled paddles, as well as events for non-paddlers – pontoon boat tours, kids crafts, an afternoon concert and s’mores in the evening. There is something for everyone at this family-friendly event, and paddles are open to kids, as long as they have an adult with them. A full schedule of Paddlefest events is available on the Department of Natural Resources website.

Admission is free. Food and concession items will be available for sale. Participants should bring their own kayak or paddleboard, or rent one from the park store on a first-come, first-served basis.

Advance registration for Paddlefest is encouraged. Camping is also available at Janes Island State Park. Reservations are highly encouraged and can be made at parkreservations.maryland.gov by calling 1-888-432-2267.

Paddles

A dozen kayakers on the water

Paddlefest 2024.

The Janes Island Challenge Paddle starts at 8 a.m. Saturday. This 13-mile circumnavigation of Janes Island will test your endurance and skill, with sections spanning the choppy open waters of Tangier Sound. Upon finishing, paddlers will earn a challenge coin.

Late Saturday morning, paddlers can choose from a birding-focused paddle, the Wetland Wings Birding Paddle, a fishing-focused paddle, the Reel Therapy Fishing Paddle, or a seining-focused paddle, the Seining the Sound Paddle. Each offers insight into the special environment at Janes Island.

Plein air painting will take place on the water between 1:30-3:30 p.m. during the Still Life on Water Art Paddle.

The day ends with a concert and your choice of a sunset paddle, or s’mores by the fire. Sunset Serenity Paddle covers three miles, round-trip, to Flatcap Beach and back.

Non-paddlers

Janes Island Paddlefest has options for everyone – including those who don’t paddle. The whole family can come and have fun.

Non-paddlers can enjoy an hour-long pontoon boat tour of the island, offered throughout the day. Kids can enjoy crafts, hands-on learning and fun games in the Nature Center between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday. A yoga session will be held on land Saturday morning at 8:15 a.m.

Valerie Lankford and Medium Wave Joy will fill the beach with acoustic rock and pop music from 3-5 p.m. Saturday. S’mores will be served by the fire outside the Nature Center at 7 p.m. to wrap up the day.

Sunday

Yoga on paddleboards

Sunday caps the festival with three additional paddles in the morning – please note, pontoon tours and kids crafts are not planned for Sunday.

At 7 a.m. the Focus on Feather Birding Paddle launches, followed by the Floating Zen SUP/Paddleboard Yoga event at 8 a.m. Participants can practice balance while striking yoga poses on a paddleboard – just be prepared to fall in the water.

The last paddle of the event is the Cast and Kayak Paddle, which launches at 10 a.m. A park ranger will take paddlers to the hottest fishing spots around Janes Island. Rods are provided or participants can bring their own.

Tips for the visit

Prepare for insects. Biting flies, ticks, mosquitos, and other pests can be found on the island. The best way to handle the pests is to accept their presence – they only ruin your day if you let them.

– Wear bug spray, or use citronella candles if you are staying in one place.

– Nets are also an effective way to block bugs – either a netted tent for the stationary or a netted head covering if you are on-the-go.

– Wear light colors – this will make you less perceptible to the mosquitoes, and help you notice a tick if it climbs on your clothes.

Be Wary of Dangerous Propane Power Weed Burning Torches

CAPE MAY COUNTY NJ-(June 3, 2026)(CNBNews)–The Cape May County Fire Marshal’s Office is alerting residents to the serious fire risk posed by propane-powered weed-burning torches when used near residential structures. Over the past few weeks, multiple fires in Cape May County have been traced directly to this equipment, resulting in significant structural damage to homes.

Your home and safety are too important to risk. If you choose to use a propane torch, please exercise extreme caution and keep the flame well away from any structure.

If You Use a Propane Torch:

• Maintain a safe distance from all structures, including homes, sheds, decks, fences, and overhanging vegetation. Keep the flame at least 10 feet away from any building or flammable material.

• Never use the torch on windy days when flames can be carried toward nearby structures.

• Have a garden hose or fire extinguisher on hand and ready to use.

• Consider safer alternatives like manual weeding, mulching, or approved herbicides.
