In honor of Veterans Day, there’s no better time to share the full-circle story of Maceo May Apartments, a 100% affordable housing site energized by Hetch Hetchy Power. With 105 multi-family units, Maceo May provides a home to formerly unhoused veterans on Treasure Island, which was once a U.S. Naval base. Maceo May, the community’s namesake, was a Vietnam War veteran and a champion of affordable housing for veterans.

Weather forecasters are predicting a ramped-up El Niño climate pattern this winter, which can result in above-normal precipitation.

It’s October, which means giant pumpkins are being grown at the Southeast Treatment Plant’s Demonstration Garden.

Bigger, faster-growing plants pull more carbon from the atmosphere, aiding the fight against climate change.
