We serve LGBTQ young adults healing from rejection and trauma
Although 7% of youth in the US identify as LGBTQ, a staggering 40% of homeless youth recognize as LGBTQ. Homeless LGBTQ youth experience high levels of harassment and violence on the lane, in the shelter system, and elsewhere.
When seeking shelter, homeless LGBTQ people face difficulty finding shelters that will accept and respect them. Transgender people often are turned away at shelters. LGBTQ young people are more likely to engage in sex labor and be victims of sexual assault crimes. Many struggle with substance use, and, prone to mental illness, LGBTQ youth perish by suicide at a higher-than-average rate.
Currently we are home for 60 LGBTQ young adults
- Ages 18 to 24 upon entry
- Housing is non-time limited, residents don’t age out on their 25th birthday
- 80% have serious mental illnesses and diagnosed substance use disorders
At Homeward NYC, LGBTQ young adults with a history of trauma win access to affordable housing in a supportive setting where they collaborate as active participants in their own care, goal-setting and achievement.
