Good morning, Wilmington.

Rising housing shortages and price hikes are straining local residents, so Delaware 211 offers free, confidential help for housing, bills, food, and health care—operated by United Way of Delaware.

The service is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., through phone, text, or live chat in multiple languages.

A family on Wilmington's East Side at the 1000 block of North Lombard Street was saved last weekend when working smoke detectors alerted them to a basement sump pump fire—fire crews responded quickly to put out the blaze and ensure everyone was safe.

In August, the Caesar Rodney School Board asked state education officials for permission to buy 207 acres near Camden from board vice president David Failing—who secured the land to help expand the Charlton School.

State officials rejected the capital budget request last Friday, so the district plans to revise its certificate of necessity and may resubmit next year while the sale remains on hold.

Voting is free for Delaware Online High School Football Athlete of the Week covering Oct.
