The Ruth Ellis Center (REC) is a Detroit area social services agency that serves the needs of runaway, homeless and at-risk lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth. REC is named in honor of the life and work of Ruth Ellis, who was respected and loved for her longevity and endurance as one of Detroit's oldest and proudest African-American lesbians and for her many years of service to all people in need. Over a 20+ year history, REC has established a national reputation for quality and innovation in providing trauma-informed services for lesbian, gay, bi-attractional, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ+) young people experiencing homelessness, in the child welfare system, and/or experiencing barriers to health & wellness. What began as a 500 square-foot safe space in Highland Park, MI has evolved into a multi-faceted organization, operating four facilities spanning Highland Park and Detroit. These four facilities provide outreach and safety-net services, integrated primary & behavioral health care services and case management, skill building workshops, HIV prevention programs, and family preservation programming as well as the operation of the Ruth Ellis Institute, the training and evaluation arm of the Ruth Ellis Center.
