Fairfax County To Have FACETS Hypothermia Prevention And Response Program

With vaccinations on the rise, FACETS will resume the annual Hypothermia Prevention and Response Program, starting November 28th. This year’s program will again rotate between various faith community partner locations throughout the winter and will include appropriate COVID-19 precautions prescribed by the Fairfax County Health Department to provide a safe and healthy environment for guests and staff. Last year, the program was held at one central facility in response to the pandemic. According to Fairfax Station Connection, "FACETS’ faith partners are also providing all meals for the program with different partners rotating week to week.  In addition, FACETS offers personalized case management to all guests who want to participate to help them move off the streets and into safe and stable housing.  FACETS will also continue to operate its QPID (Quarantine, Protection, Isolation, and Decompression) shelter at a hotel in Alexandria for clients affected by the disease." As per Fairfax Station Connection, "With the second-largest homeless population in the region, homelessness is a real challenge in the Fairfax County-Falls Church community.  With critical help from volunteers and partnerships with the faith and business communities, FACETS works to prevent and end homelessness throughout Fairfax County by offering a full spectrum of services, such as basic needs and financial assistance, counseling and outreach, educational enrichment programs, and permanent housing."
