Good morning, Bangor.

The Bangor Housing Development Corporation, with Preble Street and the Bangor Housing Authority, received funding from the Maine State Housing Authority to build a new 30-unit housing project for people who are chronically homeless.

The team will select a downtown site this summer, start construction early next year, and welcome tenants by early 2027—staff will be on duty 24/7 to help residents with services and support.

A single-vehicle crash on the main road in Eddington at 2 p.m. sent the driver to a local hospital while one horse died and another was put down—traffic was reduced to one lane during the investigation.

Michael Moulton, 30, was reported missing after last being seen on Saturday night—he has since been found safe, according to the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office.

A Hampden group home named Lee Residential Care is facing its second lawsuit after a family alleges their nonverbal son with severe intellectual disabilities was repeatedly abused over seven years while staff ignored his needs — previous cases led to convictions of two workers and charges against two others.

State representatives met at the state house to support a bill sponsored by Rep. Annie Graham that would raise funding for Good Shepherd’s Mainers feeding Mainers program (from $1M to $2M) amid federal cuts.

Good Shepherd, the state’s only Feeding America food bank (supporting 600 partner agencies), said the measure would help feed nearly 200,000 hungry Mainers.
