Many homeless LGBTQ youths are forced onto the streets where they are exposed to even more victimization and harassment. This includes criminal behavior, potential HIV from unprotected sex or drug use, and even the risk of death to young people who are in the wrong place or are unable to cope with life “on the street”.
At Kenneth & Jacob’s House, we provide LGBTQ+ youth ages 18-24 who are homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless, and have been rejected by their families, with short-term living through our transitional housing program. Providing the opportunity to practice daily living skills, our housing program prepares youth to make a successful transition to become productive, independent, and contributing members of our community. Services are outlined by each youth’s individualized case plan.
