1. Greeley City Council approves $2.4M in funding for housing projects (greeleytribune.com) — Greeley City Council has approved $2.4 million in federal housing funds for nearly a dozen local projects, including demolition at North Weld Village and added support for Habitat’s Hope Springs development. The money can’t plug the city’s general fund deficit, but it will move shovel-ready housing efforts forward, and residents with real estate or homelessness expertise are invited to apply for open seats on the Housing for All Advisory Board.
   

2. Former Greeley officer at center of second major settlement as city pays $200K in shooting case (longmontleader.com) — Greeley officials have agreed to pay $200,000 to settle a wrongful-death lawsuit over a 2022 police shooting involving former officer Donovan Serafino, following an earlier $295,000 settlement tied to his alleged false arrest. Prosecutors previously ruled the shooting justified, but the family’s suit disputed that account, and an internal probe later found Serafino violated department policies, leading to his termination.
   

3. ‘She couldn't get out:' Mother of Greeley vegetation fire victim remembers daughter (kdvr.com) — A weekend vegetation fire in Greeley, ruled accidental, killed a 45-year-old woman living in a nearby encampment after high winds damaged electrical equipment and ignited dry grass.

5. Country singer says Greeley has the worst fans (9news.com) — Greeley is back in the national spotlight after country star Ashley McBryde jokingly named “Greeley” as having the worst fans during a drinking-game interview, recalling a low-energy seated show at Union Colony Civic Center.
