• Waterford Begins 75-Unit Affordable Housing Project in Milpitas, Santa Clara County (cremarketbeat.com) — A new 75-unit affordable housing community is now under construction in Milpitas, aimed at families earning 30% to 70% of area median income. Located on California Circle within a larger master-planned neighborhood, the project is backed by tax-credit financing, includes free on-site social services, and was shaped through collaboration between Waterford, the City of Milpitas, and PulteGroup. 
• Murder charges dropped against mother of dead newborn (padailypost.com) — A Santa Clara County prosecutor has dropped murder and child abuse charges against a woman whose newborn died in Mountain View, after defense medical experts disputed the original homicide finding. The case, which once held her at Elmwood Jail in Milpitas before transfer to treatment, hinged on conflicting interpretations of the baby's injuries and the mother's journal entries.
