Children have been locked out of Casa Libre, the shelter, for hours forcing some to take shelter outside in a broken-down van, former residents said.

“The facility failed to meet this requirement. The central air and heating does not work meaning that rooms can be uncomforatable hot or cold.”In late February, when Times reporters toured the home, the basement was partially flooded, there was torn furniture, a broken window and peeling paint and plaster. Each of the boys’ rooms had a space heater.

Despite problems uncovered by a Times investigation, Hildner Coronado Ajtun is grateful for the people who support him at Casa Libre Durazo and Noriega are no longer on the board. As of mid-May, the organization’s website lists Estrada as a current board member. “When he comes out swinging is when he is told, ‘You’re not going to be in charge here, and you’re kind of on probation,’” Schey said. “Stuff he said is just utterly, completely false.”

Before he was fired, Juarez wrote a letter to the board of directors, which described a project that was “falling apart” when he arrived — with holes in the walls, a refrigerator that he was told had been empty for weeks and a lack of staff “to supervise youth during the weekends.” It also raised his concerns about pay.Juarez described Casa Libre as a project that was falling apart with holes in the walls, an empty refrigerator and a lack of staff.The letter led to a discussion with Schey.

Durazo said she served on the board from about 2010 to 2017. She was listed as a board member as part of the home’s 2003 license application, but did not recall being a member then.During her time on the board, Durazo said she was not aware of lockouts or food shortages, didn’t recall seeing any of the inspection reports, and did not know which state agency conducted oversight.

At the second one, officials discussed concerns with “financial issues, operational issues, physical plant issues, reporting requirements, care [and] supervision, administrator qualifications [and] availability, and staffing issues,” state licensing records show. Decision-making is largely decentralized and often left in the hands of regional offices and individual inspectors, she said.
