Company Information
We work nationally with LGBTQ+ young people aged 16-25 who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or living in hostile environments.
Coming out or being outed as LGBTQ+ can still lead to young people being made homeless. This is the reality for 77% of the young people akt supports. We have four offices located in London, Bristol, Manchester, and Newcastle, as well as a live chat open for support across the UK.
We provide a range of support services for LGBTQ+ young people. We help through:
- Emergency housing and support
- Finding safe and secure long-term homes
- Financial support (deposit and rent)
- Independent living costs
- Being a young person’s guarantor
- Support with accessing benefits
- Access to mental health benefits
- Long term case work
- Live Chat and digital resources
