Good morning, Helena.

Family Promise opened its new 16-room shelter on North Cooke Street Tuesday — it offers temporary housing, case management and stabilization for families facing homelessness while partnering with the Friendship Center during repairs.

The organization also expanded services into Townsend and Broadwater County.

Helena seniors enjoy a new healing arts program at the RMDC Senior Citizen Center and YWCA as a $50,000 Blue Cross and Blue Shield grant helps bring in art workshops and art carts + supplies to reduce isolation and boost creativity.

Helena Public Schools installed AI cameras on buses to monitor driver behavior & improve safety.

The district said the system does not record student actions and is kept separate from its SafetyVision live feed used only when buses are in operation.

The Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest will conduct prescribed burns this week near Lincoln, York and the Elkhorn Mountains — a measure designed to improve forest health.
