GOOD NEWS FROM THE SECOND DISTRICTThis year has been full of challenges and hardships. Rest assured, perseverance and positivity will prevail. Here is some good news to start your weekend off with: Help is on the way for homeless families and their children in Bay County. The Florida Housing Finance Corporation has agreed to award $500,000 to Bay County to help homeless families with school-aged children get housing and other services. These funds will help these families with providing rent assistance, academic support for their children, and much more with the goal of ensuring those affected will secure long-term housing. You can read the full article here. 
Providing stable ground for our youth to stand on is of the utmost importance – especially now. Dixie County will be receiving increased access to telehealth to provide mental health services for schoolchildren. The money is available from the federal CARES Act stimulus funding and will be directed to rural counties throughout Florida. You can read the full article here. 
Hurricane Sally relief has been approved by President Trump for our areas affected by the storm. This relief covers all categories of public assistance for hard-hit counties, including eight of our own. The rebuilding has already begun and it will continue with the help of President Trump and his Administration. You can read the full article here. 
Our ability to care for one another in times of hardship shows the strength and grit of our community. We have come a long way. I assure you that we will continue to rebuild, renew, and restore no matter what comes our way. You can follow me on Facebook and Twitter for more positive news and real-time updates.
