The HRC conducted a Listening Tour of programs serving LGBTQI2-S youth experiencing homelessness to learn about what works in serving this population. However, the Listening Tour programs are not the only organizations providing services to sexual and gender minority youth experiencing homelessness. This page features a selection of programs serving this group.
This page is part of resource package created to help programs better serve youth who are LGBTQI2-S and homeless. It was derived from the results of a Listening Tour of programs serving this population. Visit the Listening Tour Page for more information, or read the draft report: Learning from the Field: Programs Serving LGBTQI2-S Youth Experiencing Homelessness.
The programs featured in the Listening Tour represent only a small number of programs serving youth who are LGBTQI2-S and homeless. Other organizations serving LGBTQI2-S in diverse capacities across the country are listed here. This list is not representative of all programs serving LGBTQI2-S, and many agencies serving all youth regardless of sexual identity are culturally competent in care for youth who are LGBTQI2-S.
