The Law Center Welcomes New Arrivals
The Law Center would like to introduce our new staff members and fellows. First, we have Brandy Ryan, the Law Center’s new Staff Attorney. She has previously worked with the Law Center as an intern and post-grad fellow, working on housing policy in the Violence Against Women Act and several research projects and toolkits benefitting homeless youth. Brandy will continue in law and policy work as she joins our litigation team.
We’ve hired Karianna Barr as the Director of Development and Communications. She supports the team to ensure everyone in the United States has access to safe and secure housing. Before joining the Law Center, Karianna had the privilege of fighting unjust systems by working with national wealth-building organization Prosperity Now, public boarding school system The SEED Foundation, and integrated service provider Inspiration Corporation, and she has over a decade of experience
in hospitality.
Also joining the Communication and Development team is Crys Letona. Crys serves as the Communications Associate at the Law Center, where she utilizes communication tools and media outlets to initiate conversations around decriminalizing homelessness. She was previously a policy intern for the Law Center and received her B.S. summa cum laude in communication and rhetorical studies, policy studies, and women’s and gender studies from Syracuse University.
Last but not least, Rajan Bal joins the Law Center’s law and policy team as the Housing Not Handcuffs Campaign Manager. Rajan graduated from the Georgetown University Law Center in May 2019, and his time at the Law Center is made possible by a fellowship from the University. During law school, Rajan advocated for underprivileged youth in the D.C. delinquency system as a student attorney for the Georgetown University Juvenile Justice Clinic. Rajan has otherwise focused on
various aspects of criminal law and hopes to use his legal training to promote the public interest.
