Good morning, Abilene.

Today the CVCAA program helps eligible veteran homeowners get critical repairs and weatherization — a measure that supports Texas heroes to keep their homes safe and comfortable.

At its Thursday meeting, Abilene City Council addressed homelessness by reviewing cleanup efforts that cost nearly $97,000—public works noted a recurring pattern of camp residents—and nonprofit leaders asked for funding for two full-time positions to improve outreach.

The council also approved updated rules on animal control and special events, finalized rezoning for an RV park and multi-family housing, and swore in Mindy Patterson as interim city manager with the next meeting set for March 27 at City Hall.
