Kings County Braces for Monster El Niño After Tule River Broke Through Its Banks in at Least 50 Places in 2023

Kings County supervisors declared a preemptive state of emergency on Oct. 13, preparing for potential flooding as forecasters warn of an extraordinarily strong El Niño bearing down on the southern San Joaquin Valley this winter. The move comes more than three years after the Tule River broke through its banks in at least 50 places, and officials say the memory of 2023 — when floodwaters damaged homes, dairies, businesses, roads and infrastructure — is shaping how the county and its web of water agencies are gearing up this time around.

New Marina Kai Apartments to offer lifeline for 23 people

A new Marina development will provide permanent housing and mental health support for 23 Monterey County residents. But with roughly 500 people already waiting for similar housing, the new units will meet only a fraction of the demand. Beneath a brilliant blue sky and surrounded by a growing neighborhood of model homes, officials gathered Nov. 10 to break ground on Marina Kai Apartments, a permanent supportive housing development for low-income adults with serious mental illness who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in Monterey County. "In our field we know that housing and mental health are deeply connected," said Fabricio Chombo, assistant bureau chief with the Monterey County Behavioral Health Bureau, during the ceremony. "It's difficult to focus on recovery, maintain your health, or plan for the future when you are uncertain about where you'll be sleeping at night." More: Salinas bucks Monterey County trend with rise in homelessness The three-story development will contain 23 studio apartments for residents and a separate apartment for an on-site manager, along with laundry facilities, offices and meeting areas where supportive services can be provided. The approximately $17.6 million project replaces a two-story building containing four apartments that was demolished this year on
