Good morning, St. Augustine.

The Homeless Coalition of St Johns County received a $300,000 grant from the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Funds to complete Phase One of its West Augustine campus expansion—adding a children’s education center, a new family home and a centralized food pantry building—and will use the funds to launch Phase Two that plans for 16 new affordable homes.

The St. Johns Cultural Council is now accepting applications for the Tommy Bledsoe State of the Arts Grant Program—local artists, nonprofits and schools in the county can apply for awards totaling $25,000 until Oct.

31.

The National Weather Service predicts that today’s high tides — driven by the full Hunter’s Moon — will raise water levels up to two and one-half feet above dry ground and cause nuisance flooding along coastal roads and low-lying areas.

Residents are advised to avoid walking or driving through floodwaters as brief heavy showers and beach erosion continue to pose risks.
