Faith leaders will join lawmakers and housing advocates for a 12-hour vigil on Tuesday at the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis to protest recent cuts from the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The “Losing Sleep, Losing Homes” vigil is urging HUD officials to reconsider their decision. The event starts at noon with speakers and a candle light ceremony. The vigil goes from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. on Wednesday.

This comes after HUD announced last week it would alter access to housing funds, capping spending for housing attached to voluntary support services. The cap would reduce national funding from $2.3 billion to $1.2 billion.

The changes would affect Continuum of Care grants, programs aimed at ending homelessness through non-profits and state and local government.

The cuts could reduce supportive housing funds by half and force program closures, according to housing advocates.

HUD officials said the Continuum of Care program — which aims to prioritize housing placements over sobriety — is ineffective in ending homelessness.

“Roughly 90% of the last four years CoC awards funneled funding to support the failed ‘Housing First’ ideology, which encourages dependence on endless government handouts while neglecting to address the root causes of homelessness,” a HUD spokesperson said, in a written statement.

Chris LaTondresse, the president and chief executive officer at Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative, said the vigil was inspired in part by Betty Allen, a woman who is using supportive housing and is now worried she might lose her housing assistance.

“The vigil is called losing sleep, losing home,” he said. “It’s us standing in solidarity saying we will lose sleep because too many of our friends, neighbors and fellow Americans and Minnesotans are losing homes.”

Frankie Capan III finished 127th on the PGA Tour’s season-long points list, two spots away from achieving conditional status for the 2026 campaign, and 27 spots below the cutoff to maintain full status.

Capan entered the final tournament in 124th position, but he missed the cut over the weekend at the fall finale — the RSM Classic, which allowed three players to jump him in the standings.

After placing in a tie for 12th at the American Express Championship in mid-January, Capan went 20 straight individual events without a top-40 finish.

It was a strong fall for the recently-turned 26-year-old, who logged a pair of top-six finishes over his last five starts. Capan climbed 27 spots in the season-long standings over the last two months of play.

But his struggles from February through September dug Capan too deep of a hole from which to climb out.

For the season, Capan finished 12th on the PGA Tour in strokes gained putting, but he was outside the top 170 in strokes gained on approach and strokes gained off the tee.

Still, he made $1,108,327 in winnings this season.

So what’s next for the North Oaks native, who was Minnesota’s lone member of golf’s top tour in 2025?

Capan will have one more shot to regain PGA Tour status for next season at the final stage of Q School from Dec. 11-14 at the Dye’s Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass in Florida.

Capan is exempt into the final stage. The top five finishers at that event earn PGA Tour status for 2026.

Any other result, and Capan will go back to the Korn Ferry Tour next season. Capan finished third on the Korn Ferry Tour points list in 2024 to earn his promotion to the PGA Tour, and he would need another top-20 season-long finish to get back onto the top tour in 2027

A trial has been set for August 2026 in a lawsuit seeking to block the transfer of a parcel of prime Miami real estate to be used for President Donald Trump’s presidential library.

The decision Monday by Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz in Miami will further delay Miami Dade College’s plans to formally transfer the sizable plot of land to the state of Florida, which intends to gift it to the foundation for the planned library.

Miami activist Marvin Dunn, a retired professor and chronicler of local Black history, filed the lawsuit arguing that the college board violated Florida’s Government in the Sunshine law by not providing sufficient notice for its special meeting on Sept. 23, when it voted to give up the nearly 3-acre (1.2-hectare) property.

Last month, Ruiz sided with Dunn and granted a temporary injunction that bars the transfer of the property, at least for now.

Attorneys for the college had asked the judge to stay the trial proceedings pending an appellate court’s review. Instead, Ruiz scheduled the trial to begin Aug. 3, though she acknowledged that could change, depending on how the appeals court proceeds.

The property is a developer’s dream and is valued at more than $67 million, according to a 2025 assessment by the Miami-Dade County property appraiser. One real estate expert wagered that the parcel — one of the last undeveloped lots on an iconic stretch of palm tree-lined Biscayne Boulevard — could sell for hundreds of millions of dollars more.
