Declining private and public financial support has forced Vital Life Services, an Oakland, Calif.-based nonprofit that provided support, case management, mental health counseling and other services to roughly 400 low-income and homeless clients with HIV, to shut down, the Oakland Tribune reports. According to the Tribune, the 25-year-old center — which also provided “unique” services such as daily meals and emergency housing assistance — “has become a victim of the recession” (Burt, Oakland Tribune, 5/30).
