LGBTQIA+ Americans are almost three times more likely to experience homelessness than their heterosexual neighbors. Barriers to safe and affordable housing include discrimination, rejection from family and peers, and economic disparities.

Shelter House offers comprehensive support, from emergency shelter to long-term housing, employment, and mental health services, empowering individuals to achieve stability and move beyond homelessness.

June marks Pride Month, a time to recognize the resilience, contributions, and diversity of LGBTQ+ communities while continuing the work toward equity and inclusion.

Everyone deserves access to safe, stable, and affordable housing. However, LGBTQ+ individuals continue to face systemic challenges and discrimination that can make securing housing more difficult, contributing to disproportionately high rates of homelessness within these communities.

This month and throughout the year, we remain committed to supporting our neighbors as they work to obtain and maintain these essential resources.
