| dbo:abstract | Casa Ruby was a non-profit organization and community center in Washington, D.C. that provided housing, food, and other social services to LGBTQ people, primarily transgender, gender queer and gender people. Casa Ruby was founded by Ruby Corado and first opened in 2012. The organization was bilingual, providing services in both English and Spanish. The organization ran a 50-bed emergency housing program across seven locations and a drop-in center, and, has a satellite office in El Salvador. In September 2021, Casa Ruby had over 100 employees, but its management said it would lay off more than half after the (DHS) declined to renew an $850,000 grant. Corado had previously filed an administrative complaint alleging that DHS was engaged in anti-transgender discrimination. After the loss of funding, which came with five days' notice, Corado stepped down as executive director and was replaced by Alexis Blackmon. After Blackmon left the role in February 2022, Jacqueline Franco was named as interim executive director. Casa Ruby ceased its program operations in July 2022. On August 11, 2022, it was announced that a D.C. Superior Court judge appointed an outside party to take into account all of Casa Ruby’s financial assets and determine whether there is a feasible way to continue operations. (en) |
