🏘️ Community
Arizona tribes are struggling to support kids in foster care due to state budget cuts and a lack of family placements—many Native children end up in group homes where they often have limited contact with friends and family.
Advocates say that these placements can increase risks and stress until more foster care options become available.
💼 Business
The president of TSMC welcomed dozens of applicants at a signing day event+the apprentices will soon begin training in a new trade with high demand in Arizona.
The program is expected to meet growing industry needs.
🌲 Environment
The Arizona Game and Fish Department is seeking homes for over 100 desert tortoises as they wake from brumation — the reptiles cannot go back into the wild because of health risks.
Residents interested in adopting a tortoise must prepare a proper burrow and agree to care for a pet that can live for up to 100 years, with one tortoise allowed per household.
