WASHINGTON - An investigation conducted by The Washington Post revealed that a D.C.-based LGBTQ nonprofit has stopped providing critical services in the District.
The company's founder is now missing in action and employees haven't gotten paid.
Ruby Corado launched Casa Ruby in 2012 with a focus on helping members of the LGBTQ community in the District.
The organization provided health, immigration, housing, and other assistance for D.C.'s most vulnerable for nearly a decade. Now, Casa Ruby has ceased all operations, closed its shelters, and employees say they haven't been compensated since May.
Corado, meanwhile, can't be reached.
…
According to Casa Ruby's 2020 federal tax filing, the organization had over $4 million in total revenue, and Corado took home a $260,000 salary. Court records also reveal that Casa Ruby is facing at least three separate disputes over unpaid rent.
One landlord complaint shows over one million dollars in unpaid rent and utilities from March 2020 to December 2021.
FOX 5 reached out to attorneys listed as representing Casa Ruby in those landlord/tenant disputes in D.C. superior court, but we have not heard back.
FOX 5 also spoke with two Casa Ruby employees who said they haven't received paychecks since the end of May. Neither had spoken to their boss, Corado, since May. And both said they hoped the mayor's words meant the city was willing to help those left behind who did the work and didn't get paid.

The 2019 IRS report shows that Casa Ruby’s total revenue or income for that year came from two sources: $2,402,627 in “government grants”
Pockets full of cash, time to skeedadle.
Excellent analogy...great flick!
Money goes a lot further in San Salvador than it does in DC.
Yeah, evidently so.
