Ronnie’s House, established in 2016 and spearheaded by Executive Director Shirin Senegal, to carry on the legacy of her Husband Ronnie Senegal, who spent 18 years in prison, and after turning his life around he lost it to gun violence. Ronnie’s House has been a powerful force in advancing equity and policy change in the realms of reentry, cannabis equity, and small business development.
