Nashville CARES CEO Amna Osman

Tennessee state leaders in January became the first in the country to reject federal HIV/AIDS prevention money, a decision that put funding for Nashville CARES and other local organizations at risk. It was the start of a tumultuous year for Nashville CARES. 

“Over the course of the last decade, we’ve never had this significant of a reduction or problems with funding,” Amna Osman, executive director of Nashville CARES, told the Post.
