Mayor Muriel Bowser and Administration officials join Casa Ruby Executive Director Ruby Corado, Verizon State Government Affairs Director Mario Acosta-Velez, and LGBTQ advocates to announce expanded capacity for LGBTQ youth at Casa Ruby.

The changes include an additional six new shelter beds, a $45,000 investment by Verizon to support Wanda Alston House and Supporting and Mentoring Youth Advocates and Leaders (SMYAL) – two organizations that serve LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness in the District – and the recipients of five mini-grants to support community-based organizations involved in this work.

These investments have come as a result of the End Youth Homelessness Act and the Homeless Youth Census conducted last summer and exemplify the Bowser Administration’s commitment to ensuring equity and increasing excellence in serving District residents experiencing homelessness.
