Starting Jan. 1, the homeless population near Reston will receive a little extra relief from the cold winter nights. Fairfax County, in collaboration with Reston Interfaith, will open a hypothermia prevention center that will run through the end of March.
"This is a part of a bigger strategy," said Marte Birnbaum, director of the Embry Rucker Community Shelter. "The county began to develop a 10-year strategy, to find new ways and new methods to end homelessness."
