Good morning, Daytona Beach.

The January count in Volusia and Flagler recorded 1083 homeless people—a 7% drop from last year—but Neighborhood Center CEO Savannah-Jane Griffin said her center still faces high demand for rent and utility help due to rising living costs and the impact of Hurricane Milton.

She warned that potential federal funding cuts may further challenge support for local residents in need of emergency shelter and meals.

A lightning strike hit the roof of a home on Halifax River in Ormond Beach at about 4 p.m. Monday, causing pieces of the ceiling to fall on Paul Holub as he slept — his family helped clear the debris — and leaving him lucky to be alive.

Since 1995, Dolly Parton Imagination Library has provided over 280 million books to more than 3 million children through nonprofit partners in Central Florida counties—Orange, Lake, Flagler, Volusia and Polk.

Local groups cover a fee of about $30 per child per year so kids from birth to age 5 can build a personal library of 60 books.

Clay Ervin, Volusia County's Growth and Resource Management Director, will step down on Aug.

1 as he enters semi-retirement (he is still deciding on his next steps). County officials have not named his replacement and will announce the search soon.

A large water main break in Edgewater occurred yesterday at 1:30 p.m. near Park Avenue and Air Park Road, affecting about 3,600 homes and businesses with temporary outages and low water pressure, while crews quickly isolated the issue by 3 p.m.—a boil water notice remains until tests confirm the water is safe.
