"Josh Kruger lifted up the most vulnerable and stigmatized people in our communities -- particularly unhoused people living with addiction," Krasner said."As an openly queer writer who wrote about his own journey surviving substance use disorder and homelessness, it was encouraging to see Josh join the Kenney administration as a spokesperson for the Office of Homeless Services.
