Here are the top stories today in Beaverton: Head over to OregonLive to find out what's open, what's closed and what events are happening on Veterans Day 2021. TriMet riders will be pleased to know that buses and other public transit will be operating on normal schedules. State and federal offices will be closed along with regional libraries; USPS will deliver mail as usual. A big shout-out goes to the Crandall Group, local realtors who donated a $1.5 million townhouse for the purpose of affordable housing. The five units in the building will be administered by the Union Gospel Mission and purposed for supporting single-parent families. Get more details at Cedar Mill News.

Many parents agree: Winter months bring increased stress when it comes to keeping kids busy since many outdoor options aren't viable in cold, wet weather. Check out the latest edition of Kohr Explores over at KOIN to discover an indoor option for small kids who need to get those wiggles out, even when the weather is bad. Leka Playland in Tigard is a new indoor playscape offering a 'low-tech' alternative to screen time year-round for families. Like many municipalities, the City of Beaverton faces a new challenge when it comes to accommodating those experiencing homelessness in a way that best serves the entire community. To that end, the City is working towards creating new guidelines for permanent homeless shelters, including how to choose locations and how to engage the public. Councilors will meet again on Tuesday, November 9, to discuss and possibly finalize these decisions.
