N Street Village Salutes Mayor

N Street Village, which provides housing and support to homeless and low-income women in the Washington, D.C., area, held its annual gala March 14 on the Marriott Marquis — and honored Mayor Muriel Bowser with the 2019 Founder’s Award for her commitment to ensuring that homelessness is “rare, brief, and non-recurring” in the nation’s capital. “Mayor Bowser has made unprecedented investments and encouraged innovation toward our shared goal of ending homelessness as we know it in our city,” said Schroeder Stribling of N Street Village. The Steinbruck Award went to Ruth Mohamed Nur, Rebecca Ortiz and Rosalind Wheeler. Co-chairs included Hillary and Tom Baltimore, Erika and A. Scott Bolden, Kasey and Joe Crowley and Tina and Gary Mather — with Jacqui Michel as auction chair. Singer Aloe Blacc serenaded the room with his single, “I Count On Me,” from the film, “Green Book.”
