Perez has more on lessons learned and what’s new.The Center in Hillcrest shut down its building in March 2020 because of COVID-19. For the past two years, staff members did their best to provide services online when possible.
“We are so proud to be a part of this community and continue to grow our power, help those in need, and make a real difference,” said Cara Dessert, CEO of The Center. A new state-of-the-art heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system was installed to provide the cleanest air to staff and the community. Although the doors are open, current COVID-19 protocols and protections remain in place including a requirement to wear a mask at all times inside the building.
The recent threat of the reversal of Roe vs. Wade and a growing number of attacks on the transgender community makes the mission here even stronger. Dessert said the Center will continue to support the protection of constitutional rights.
