Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County unveils initiative to address housing crisis
Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County has unveiled a comprehensive plan called Face the Housing Crisis to provide safe, affordable housing with its Cornerstone Housing Framework.
“Our Cornerstone Housing Framework is pioneering a solution to the wicked problem of our local affordable housing crisis and its role in multiple community priorities,” said Catherine Steck McManus, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County. “We encourage everyone to join this extraordinary movement and support our quest for change.”
Central Florida’s current housing market faces critical imbalances, resulting in a lack of affordable housing options for individuals and families across the region. Habitat Orlando & Osceola recognizes the urgency to address this complex issue and has developed the Cornerstone Housing™ Framework as a roadmap for transformative change.
The Framework aims to restore balance in the housing market by addressing key challenges, including the need for adequate housing supply, sustainable demand from buyers and an evolved social service model for a rapid and coordinated response.

Thousands of voters in Osceola County will soon be marked “inactive” on the voter registration list if they don’t respond to the Osceola County Supervisor of Elections Office. Mary Jane Arrington’s office is reaching out to the community hoping people will update their voter statuses.
As required by Florida law, the Osceola County Supervisor of Elections is conducting voter list maintenance. The law calls for certain voters to be labeled inactive. In May, the Osceola County Supervisor of Elections Office sent notices to voters whose mail was returned as undeliverable or have had no activity. The notice requires voters to complete the form and return to the Elections Office within 30 days. Alternatively, voters can complete the online voter registration application found at www.voteosceola.gov or call us at 407-742-6000.
Any voter who received this notice and doesn’t respond, will be labeled inactive. There are roughly 36,000 voters who were sent this notice who have not responded. The total number of registered voters shown on the Osceola County Supervisor of Elections website will change when these voters are labeled inactive, in accordance with Florida law.

Leading the Charge: Dylan Murphy takes the helm as head coach of Osceola Magic
The Osceola Magic, NBA G League affiliate of the Orlando Magic, have named Dylan Murphy head coach, Orlando Magic President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman announced today. Per team policy, terms of the deal are not disclosed.
Murphy will also serve as head coach of the Orlando Magic’s NBA 2K24 Summer League team in Las Vegas.
“Dylan (Murphy) has done a tremendous job in regard to player development in his role as an assistant coach with the Magic,” said Weltman. “He also brings past G League experience and we look forward to his continued leadership and seamless connectivity between the Osceola and Orlando Magic.”
Murphy has spent the last five seasons with the Orlando Magic, including three seasons as an assistant coach (2020-23). From 2018-20, he served as basketball operations analyst, providing analytics support to the coaching staff.
Murphy joined Orlando after serving as a graduate assistant with the men’s basketball team at Ball State University in 2018. Before his time with Ball State, he spent one season (2016-17) as an NBA G League scout for the Atlanta Hawks. In that role, he was responsible for identifying potential call-up candidates for the Hawks NBA roster.
Prior to Atlanta, Murphy spent three seasons (2013-16) as assistant coach of the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the NBA G League. In 2013-14, the Mad Ants won the NBA G League championship, posting a league-best record of 34-16 during the regular season and going a perfect 6-0 during their playoff run. In the following season (2014-15), the Mad Ants earned a second-straight trip to the G League Finals.
Murphy earned a bachelor’s degree in classics from Columbia University in 2012. He is married to his wife, Sarah.

Orlando Health: How soon should my child start swimming lessons?
Swimming can be a fun activity for kids, and with Florida’s warm weather, it can be a great way to cool down. But with drowning listed as the top cause of death for children between ages 1 and 4, swimming lessons are key to reducing the risk of tragedy.
So, at what age should you start considering swim lessons for your kids? This may be surprising, but getting them started by the age of 1 can reduce the risk of accidental drowning by 88 percent, according to a study published in the National Library of Medicine. Your child won’t be swimming laps as a toddler, but those early lessons can help them overcome a natural fear of water, while teaching critical survival tactics such as keeping their head above water.

INJURY LAW
Draper Law: What to know about parking lot accidents
Parking lots can be tricky for drivers to navigate. Whether you’re at a grocery store, restaurant, doctor’s office, apartment complex, concert or sports venue, or school, getting in and out of a parking lot can be tricky due to the sheer number of cars and pedestrians in the area.
Many of these accidents are caused by distracted driving. The good news is that these crashes are often at low speeds, so the injuries involved are not typically too bad.
Parking lots are often crowded, making accidents likely. If you have been involved in an accident, the Kissimmee auto accident lawyers at Draper Law Office can help you gather evidence and recover compensation for the losses you have suffered. To schedule a free consultation, call (407) 743-6628 or fill out the online form.

Draper Law: Showing positive parenting
When parents of minor children divorce, it can be several years before their involvement with the court will end. Ideally, both parties will abide by their thoughtfully created parenting agreement and make changes which support their children’s wellbeing. However, as time passes and circumstances change, it is not uncommon for parents to disagree about what is in the best interest of their kids. A parent may also claim the other does not have good parenting abilities and seek to make legal changes to the parenting plan. In this situation, the other parent may have to provide evidence of their positive parenting skills.
The Draper Law Office has attorneys who are experienced with helping clients with child custody and parenting time issues and can help. Call 407.846.0075 today or go to DraperLawOffice.com to set up your free, no-obligation consultation in one of their three locations: St. Cloud, Kissimmee, and Orlando.

HEALTH
Ashlee Wright, MDA, RD, LD/N Outpatient Registered Dietitian Orlando Health
Overhauling your diet sounds daunting, right? But small tweaks can make a lasting difference in your health and nutrition. These five changes — plus tips on how to achieve them — can help you score quick improvements in how you feel and give you the confidence to try for even bigger changes over time.
Eat More Fiber
If you’re only going to try one thing on this list, make it adding more fiber — it’s easier than you think. Look at a list of high-fiber foods — odds are, you’ll find things there that you already love (for example raspberries and blackberries, which each pack 8 grams of fiber per cup). Increasing fruits and veggies you already like is as simple as adding them to your grocery list more frequently.
Why does fiber matter? It’s often associated with improved digestion — a big plus for anybody who has issues there — but it also helps with blood-sugar control and weight management. A lot of fiber-rich food is also rich in prebiotics, which helps to feed the “good” bacteria in our gut. A word of caution: Go slowly. The goal is 25 grams of fiber a day — most Americans don’t get anywhere near that, and if you add that much in a hurry you may feel bloated and uncomfortable while your body adjusts. Instead aim to add about 5 grams a week until you reach the recommended amount.
Easy ways to start: Switch from white bread or pasta to whole wheat. For picky eaters, try the middle ground of breads and pastas with fiber added that don’t taste quite so wheaty.
Drink More Water
We know, we know — many people don’t like the taste of water. But being wellhydrated improves brain and digestive function, maintains your skin’s elasticity and keeps blood sugar better controlled (because it makes your blood more dilute and the sugars less concentrated than if you are dehydrated). You don’t have to guzzle from a jug — refilling a small cup multiple times a day can seem more doable at first. Try a bottle with a built-in infuser where you can add fresh fruit to flavor the water.
