Nationally, 28% of LGBTQ youth report experiencing homelessness or housing instability at some point in their lives — and those who do are two to four times more likely to experience depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidal ideation compared to those with stable housing. There are vital champions in our community who are supporting LGBTQ youth housing in South Florida, and this year, we're focusing grantmaking from the LGBTQ Equity Fund on housing for at-risk LGBTQ youth. Twelve local nonprofit partners will receive $350,000 in grants to help create safe, supportive environments for LGBTQ youth. To these nonprofits, thank you for the important work that you do, and thank you for helping to build a Greater Miami where everyone can thrive. https://sflgbtqequity.org/ Camillus House LOTUS HOUSE WOMEN'S SHELTER Miami Bridge Youth & Family Services, Inc.
