Good morning, Biloxi. Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 8th of August.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • In Biloxi, Back Bay Mission served 230 people in 2018 but now serves over 700—rising inflation and higher living costs are blamed for the surge in homelessness. The nonprofit asks local leaders to open an overnight shelter on the Coast—hoping this step will provide a sustainable solution for residents.  WXXV 25
