FOCUS offers a range of services for homeless LGBTQ+ youth ages 14-24 years old. Many of our services are offered to the youth within our shelter, and others are available to the greater community.
Housing
We offer a place to call home for youth who no longer have a primary residence for whatever reason. During our first few years in operation, we will only have transitional housing for youth ages 18-24.
Education
Whether it is obtaining a GED, attending a trade school, community college, or a 4-year college/university, our youth determine their educational goals and we guide them through the process. We assist with school research, applications, and application fees.
Job-readiness
We listen to the job interests of our youth and assist them with developing transferable skills. Youth will engage in resume building, mock interviews, and financial planning.
