D.C.’s attorney general wants to freeze the financial accounts of a non-profit that once provided housing to LGBTQ+ youth after a bombshell Washington PostThe Washington Post report last month found that those once served by the non-profit were forced to vacate their housing, and employees were left unpaid. Three landlords of Casa Ruby buildings say Corado hasn't paid rent.
Casa Ruby has also received several grants from D.C. government, totaling more than $9.6 million since 2016.Corado was recognized in 2019 as a "Washingtonian of the Year," telling Washingtonian Magazine: “I don’t know anyplace in the world where a homeless, HIV-positive, undocumented trans woman of color can have a dream of serving people in her community and be able to live that dream.
The motion also wants a Court-appointed official to stabilize and reform Casa Ruby as well as oversee the organization’s past financial dealings.
