• Irvine Co. and USA Properties Plan $175M Affordable Housing Project (ocbj.com) — A 338-unit affordable apartment community called Terracina is now under construction at Tustin Legacy, aiming to serve lower-income families in one of Orange County's priciest markets. Backed by Irvine Company and USA Properties, it's part of a broader plan for more than 9,000 homes plus jobs, parks, schools, and churches that will significantly reshape Tustin's former base. 
• White House Executive Order Reshapes Childhood Vaccine Recommendations, Drawing Public Health Concerns (infectioncontroltoday.com) — A new Trump administration executive order would scale back routine childhood vaccine recommendations and push more separate appointments, a move many public health experts say could lower vaccination rates and raise disease risks. A Tustin-based infection prevention director at Foothill Regional Medical Center echoes concerns about added confusion and inconvenience for local families already juggling work, school, and health care access.
