— New enrollment into the Virginia Department of Health’s AIDS Drug Assistance Program is being closed. The program provides medication to low-income residents with HIV. There are some exceptions, WTOP.com reports. Pregnant women and children 18-years-old and younger will still be able to enroll.
— A northern Virginia homeless shelter is feeling pressure on all sides. The Lamb Center in Fairfax City has seen its clientele nearly double over the past five years, but says the city is tightening zoning codes in a way that will make it difficult for the daytime shelter to move to a bigger location. The Washington Post has the details.
— In my holiday-induced haze, I missed last week’s Washington Examiner profile of Andrea Powell, executive director of FAIR Fund, a Women’s Foundation Grantee Partner. FAIR Fund works to combat human trafficking. Tomorrow is National Human Trafficking Day.
