       The Chicago city council is expected on January 16 to give final approval for the transfer of four city-owned lots in the North Lawndale section of the city to AidsCare Inc., which plans to use the property to build a housing facility for low-income city residents with HIV/AIDS, the Chicago Tribune reports. The $15 million facility, supported by a $3.1 million grant from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, will include three buildings with 64 housing units, two support service buildings, a wellness and medical services center, and a multipurpose building. Construction on the facility is slated to begin in early spring. AidsCare has operated a separate resident facility for people with HIV/AIDS on the west side of Chicago since 1996.

        Gregory, a Black gay man from Virginia, remembers the first time clearly, even if the details have the soft blur that good nights tend to acquire over time. He was 18 or 19, at an after-party, surrounded by grown adults with careers and lives. Someone was sitting at a table. Would you like some? A little white powder, a little white line. He said yes. He felt a pleasant buzz while everyone else was dissolving into the floor. "I realized whatever it is, we did the same thing, but it affects me differently," he says now, at 45, laughing at the memory. "I've only had a K-hole maybe once or twice in my life." Keep Reading →
