Buying your own home is the American dream, and the City of Lima is working to make that dream come true for residents. The city is hosting a couple of upcoming workshops. One with NACA, the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America, and another with the city regarding their first home loan down payment assistance program. City officials say it's important that people understand what assistance is available to them.

The Jegna Corporation continues its efforts to reach out to local youth before it's too late. "Know Your Rites" was another of many workshops organized to teach kids, parents, and professionals who work with youth about the challenges faced by young people today and tactics to keep them on the right path. Several guest speakers held separate sessions catered towards each group, with boys and girls breaking into their own groups as well. Participants learned about topics like emotional literacy, setting goals, and how trauma can lead to unhealthy behavior.
