Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) announced today that $2.5 million in federal funding has been made available for HIV services in Alameda County.

The money from the Department of Health and Human Services will be used to enhance access to care for low-income individuals and families as well as strengthen strategies to reach minority populations.

"Alameda County health providers are leaders in the domestic fight against HIV/AIDS and I am pleased that Alameda County Health Care Services Agency has been selected for this critical funding that will expand and improve efforts to combat HIV/AIDS in the East Bay," said Lee.

Lee represents California's 13th Congressional District, which includes Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland, Piedmont and San Leandro.

@Anna, your comments about going to the AMC in Emeryville is just dumb! Think about all the time you…Read More spend in traffic, gas, parking and the $ you spend at the chain stores on Bay St ... all of which are probably better off being spent right here. I would imagine somebody living "paycheck to paycheck" (your exact words) would be a lot more conscious in how they spend their $ ... apparently not.

My Dad was at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Alameda from 1940 to 1970. I was born in Alameda…Read More Hospital in 1956 so I have seen Webster in its many stages over the years. For many years it had businesses catering to sailors. Many bars etc... I think Cafe Jolie and Wes Cafe both do a lot for Webster and I hope more businesses like theirs start to populate the street.

Y'know, Anna, I certainly sympathize with your, well, nostalgia. But thinking about it, it occurs to…Read More me that were I a younger, more entrepreneurial-oriented type, and wanted to start a local retail type of business, a franchise of some sort would be a relatively low-risk mode of entry, as opposed to starting all over from scratch myself. I was surprised, for example, to find that the calendar and tzotchke store in the mall that was open for about two months last year was a franchise. I believe SubPar Golf is a franchise. That's kinda the way "starting a business" works these days. Not that something isn't lost, but that's always the case. I would also point out, at the risk of being contentious, the several new establishments that have *opened* on Park St. in the past few years, restaurants like Angela's, the kids-supplies stores, as well as the local chains (dunno how you feel about those) like Red Onion and Burgermeister. And that's just off the top of my head. "Life is change, how it differs from the rocks" — Jefferson Airplane said that.

The no-dogs allowed ruling was probably inspired, at least in part, by irresponsible pet owners like her.
