2. San Gabriel Valley Housing Trust Reaches 1,000-Unit Milestone (mynewsla.com) — Pomona’s Mission Suites apartment complex is getting new support to stay affordable, as regional housing funds will preserve 119 income-restricted units that might otherwise have lost protections by 2030. The San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust says this project helped push its portfolio past 1,000 affordable units, part of a broader effort to reduce homelessness and displacement across the valley.
   

3. Kaiser Health Plan ordered to pay hospital $82M over insufficient reimbursement (fiercehealthcare.com) — Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center has secured a final $82.3 million judgment against Kaiser Permanente over years of alleged underpayments for emergency care, potentially strengthening the hospital’s financial footing.
