DC Fights Back: Rally on World AIDS Day
Much like the District's Low Income Housing Wait List, access to safe and stable housing for D.C. residents living with HIV & AIDS has been equally devastating -- Over 900 people are currently on the D.C. AIDS Housing Wait List.
HOUSING IS HIV PREVENTION
People who have stable housing are less likely to acquire HIV infection or to transmit HIV to others -- regardless of other risks. HIV prevention strategies will not succeed without attention to housing and other important factors.
HOUSING IS HEALTH CARE
For people living with HIV, housing is one of the strongest predictors of their access to treatment, their health outcomes, and how long they will live. To obtain and bene?t from life-saving HIV treatments, people living with HIV must have safe, stable housing.
HOUSING FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV & AIDS SAVES LIVES AND MONEY
Respect DC Meeting in response to Mayor Gray and Walmart's "Community Parternship"
Mayor Gray and Walmart announced a "Community Partnership" last Tuesday. In short, this is not an agreement: Walmart is saying all the same things they have been since they first announced proposed sites last year. It seems like the Mayor's office got nothing from their negotiations. Respect DC will be meeting on Thursday, December 1, at 4pm at the Watha T Daniel/Shaw Library, 1630 7th St NW to discuss strategy moving forward from this announcement.
RSVP with Mike at organizer@respectdc.org or 202-255-7974
