Bread of Angels is Smith's most straightforwardly autobiographical book to date. It touches on material she's written about before, but her focus this time is her trajectory from a working class childhood in Pennsylvania and south Jersey into her stage and recording career — which she put on hiatus during her marriage and reignited during her widowhood. The title Bread of Angels refers to the "unpremeditated gestures of kindness" Smith has experienced along the way, which color her essentially optimistic attitude toward life

The punk rock star has produced several books that braid thoughts on her newest endeavors with memories and photographs of her lost lovers and friends. Bread of Angels is her most autobiographical.

San Diego County recipients of CalFresh will start seeing their November benefits loaded onto their EBT cards over the next several days, the county announced Friday.

The process began Thursday night after a federal court ruled in favor of restoring full benefits during the ongoing government shutdown, according to the state.

CalFresh is the California version of the federal food assistance program also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly referred to as EBT or food stamps. The program is entirely federally funded, but is managed by states and administered by counties.

The orders came in rulings by two federal judges who told the U.S. Department of Agriculture separately Friday that it must begin using billions of dollars in contingency funding to provide federal food assistance to needy families despite the federal shutdown — but gave the agency until Monday to decide how to do so.

The benefits are headed to Californians despite claims from President Trump's Administration that it would not heed the court orders.

The Housing Commission is expected to receive roughly $274 million this fiscal year to distribute "housing choice vouchers" on behalf of the city of San Diego. The voucher program, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and is also known by its legacy name "Section 8," is the nation's largest affordable housing program.

Some low-income families could be facing rent increases next year, as inflation and funding cuts take a toll on federal programs that subsidize rents.
