LONGMONT, Colo. (KDVR) -- A village of tiny homes in Longmont will help veterans who are experiencing homelessness. The community, just off Mountain Brook Drive, is made possible by the organization Veterans Community Project."This was founded in 2016 by a group of combat vets," Jennifer Seybold, the executive director of VCP Longmont, said. "They came together in Kansas City to solve some of the community challenges they were seeing for their fellow brothers and sisters." What makes a tiny home a legal residence in Colorado? Since then, the project has expanded to other cities across the country, including Longmont."The success rate they were seeing with vets moving from the villages into permanent housing was 85%, which is more than double the national average," Seybold said.The village will be made up of 26 tiny homes. Single residency homes will be 240 square feet and family homes that can sleep up to seven people will be 340 square feet. Each home is designed specifically for...Pembroke Park Commissioner Geoffrey Jacobs created toxic work environment, independent probe finds

WASHINGON (AP) — Lawyers for Donald Trump asked a federal judge in Washington to push back until years after the election a trial in Washington on charges that the former president conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election.The suggested April 2026 date is a dramatic counter to the Justice Department’s recommendation last week that the trial should begin Jan. 2, 2024. The question is ultimately up to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is expected to set at least a tentative trial date during an Aug. 28 court hearing.In a filing, Trump’s lawyers say the years-long delay is necessary both because of the unprecedented nature of the case and the “massive” amount of information — 11.5 million pages — that they have to review. They said they would have to review about 100,000 pages per day in order to meet the Justice Department’s proposed trial date.“If we were to print and stack 11.5 million pages of documents, with no gap between pages, ...Jahlani Tavai urges fans to support Hawaii after Patriots lend help

Facing the toughest remaining schedule of any playoff contender, the Red Sox have to take advantage of the few opportunities they have left against weaker competition if they hope to reach the postseason.This week’s tilt against the last-place Washington Nationals was a golden opportunity, but the Red Sox let it slip away.Though they made things interesting late, the Red Sox couldn’t erase an eight-run deficit and wound up losing 10-7 after being dominated in every facet during the early innings. Boston was doomed by two early errors and some uncharacteristically poor pitching performances, and the result was a second straight loss to lose the series.The Red Sox trailed by as much as 9-1 after Washington scored five runs in the fifth and three in the sixth, but in the top of the seventh Boston’s bats finally came to life. Luis Urias hit a grand slam and Rafael Devers crushed a two-run home run to make it a two-run game, but while the Red Sox got the tying run to th...Murderer of former Somerville High School football standout sentenced to life in prison
