Casa Ruby’s services must survive
A judge approved putting Casa Ruby into the hands of a receiver and approved the D.C. Attorney General’s recommendation of the Wanda Alston Foundation, of which June Crenshaw is the executive director.
She is an amazing person. Founded in 2008, according to its website “the Wanda Alston Foundation provides housing and support services for D.C.
homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth ages 18 to 24 and advocates for expanded city services for LGBTQ youth.” Contrary to what Ruby Corado said at the hearing she apparently Zoomed into from El Salvador, it is only important to have someone who knows the work of Casa Ruby and if it is someone who worked for a successful organization in the area all the more reason for them to be named.
It’s not important that the name Casa Ruby survives. What is important is the services it once provided to the transgender community survive, and even expand.
