Things You Should Know About Veteran Treatment Courts

Veterans deserve more. United States servicemen and women earn their benefits and support through their service, yet far too many face ongoing challenges with healthcare access, mental health resources, disability claims backlogs, and housing support. Veterans treatment courts (VTC) aim to promote recovery and reduce recidivism in high-risk, high-need military veterans with repeat infractions related to substance use, mental health, and co-occurring disorders. Honorable Robert Russell founded the first VTC in Buffalo, New York, in January 2008. The structure of VTCs are similar to that of adult drug treatment courts in that they involve cooperation and collaboration with court officials, community partners, and law enforcement. The goal is to connect eligible veterans with benefits and treatment earned through military service. The program was initially funded initially by a grant from the Governor's Crime Commission from then-Governor Pat McCrory.

Wilmington renters face tighter apartment market, study says

Demand is up in Wilmington for places to live. More specifically, for apartments. According to a study from apartment-related blog RentCafe, the rental market is getting hotter in Wilmington, defying a statewide trend observed in other small North Carolina cities. So what does this mean for Wilmington-area residents? RentCafe’s study , which published Oct. 8, suggests that renters will have a tougher time finding an apartment in the competitive market. Occupancy rates for apartments are rising, and the apartments themselves are sitting vacant for less time. This trend comes alongside Wilmington’s overall growth as populations all over the region continue to climb. Meanwhile, rent prices are also increasing, with one study finding that rents increased 13% between 2023 and 2026 – almost double the statewide rate of 7%. More: It now takes $90K+ to live comfortably in NC. What about Wilmington? How competitive is Wilmington’s rental market? RentCafe scored cities on the Rental Competitiveness Index, a tool that accounted for factors like occupancy rates, average vacant days, lease renewal rate, and the number of prospective renters in a city. Wilmington scored a 78.2 on this scale -- up from 74.2 last year and well over the national average of 73.9.
