A Free Newsletter for Life in Tustin

There’s a lot happening in Tustin and across the surrounding region—city decisions, school updates, development projects, community programs, and everyday changes that affect family life. Tustin Brief is a free newsletter that simplifies the local news you actually need to make living in Tustin better.

Rather than trying to cover everything, Tustin Brief focuses on what’s practical, relevant, and timely. We see this newsletter as both a tool for staying informed and a small way to help strengthen the sense of community in Tustin.

What We Cover

Tustin Brief covers local news and information that directly affects daily life in Tustin, California. This includes city government updates, public safety and family safety information, and development and infrastructure projects that shape neighborhoods and long-term growth.

We track local businesses, the economy, and cost-of-living issues, along with health and family services available to residents. For families, coverage includes childcare and early learning, youth recreation and enrichment programs, education updates from the Tustin Unified School District and the Orange County Department of Education, and news from PTAs and parent organizations.

Tustin Brief also shares neighborhood updates, civic participation opportunities, seasonal planning reminders, high school varsity sports scores, and a concise four-day weather forecast. To round out the picture of local life, the newsletter highlights community events, arts, libraries, and civic amenities in Tustin and, when relevant, across Orange County.

Why Tustin Brief Exists

Local information is abundant—but fragmented. Important updates live across city websites, school pages, social media platforms, neighborhood apps, and newsletters. Keeping up often requires checking multiple sources and sorting through noise to find what actually matters.

Tustin Brief exists to do that filtering for you. It brings together local information from many places, adds context, and delivers it in one consistent, easy-to-read format—so staying informed doesn’t feel like another task on your to-do list.

Who This Is For

Tustin Brief is for anyone who lives in Tustin—longtime residents, newcomers, families, individuals, and anyone who wants a clearer picture of what’s happening locally.

Tustin Brief is published three times a week—Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. If it’s in Tustin and worth your attention, you’ll see it here.
