National and local housing resources for LGBTQ+ youth

by Emily Marek

There are many reasons why LGBTQ+ youth experience housing insecurity. A recent report from Today’s Homeowner cites familial rejection, discrimination, mental health challenges, lack of a support network and economic instability as just a few of the roadblocks these youth face when it comes to obtaining housing.

One organization working to combat LGBTQ+ youth housing insecurity in Houston is the Montrose Grace Place. It serves as emergency housing and offers resources to keep young people safe. It also connects members of the community with support services.

True Colors United

Point Source Youth

The Trevor Project

National Runaway Safeline

Safe Place
