• LA County Public Housing Waiting List Opens for 16 Locations (koreadaily.com) — Santa Monica residents now have a fresh chance to get on LA County's public housing waitlist, with applications open for 16 properties, including a Santa Monica family site. Rents are income-based, often far below market, and households can apply to multiple locations before the September 16 deadline, though declining an offered unit may remove them from all lists.
• Man Found Dead On Santa Monica High-Rise Balcony Identified (patch.com) — Santa Monica officials have identified the 90-year-old man who died on a construction balcony at the Westminster Tower high-rise on 7th Street, determining his death was a suicide with no public safety threat. Police, fire, and the Medical Examiner all emphasize there's no criminal connection, and residents are reminded that free, confidential help is available through the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
• What to Know About the Experimental New Melanoma Vaccine, Per M.D.s (prevention.com) — A leading oncologist at Providence Saint John's Cancer Institute in Santa Monica is helping explain a promising experimental melanoma vaccine that may cut recurrence risk when paired with Keytruda.
