Project SAFE is a lifeline for LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in Miami-Dade County. This vital program provides access to safe and supportive shelter through housing partners or the innovative HOST HOME PROGRAM, which pairs young people with caring individuals willing to open their homes. In addition to secure housing, Project SAFE offers comprehensive care coordination to address the unique needs of each individual, from referrals for HIV testing and substance abuse treatment to transportation assistance, emergency meals, and family support. Participants also enjoy access to safe and affirming programming, including warm showers, laundry facilities, and ongoing advocacy with service providers to ensure their safety. Project SAFE is not only a vital resource for young people in need, but it also works to increase LGBTQ knowledge among social service agencies, offering cultural competency trainings and technical assistance.

“Every person felt like they didn’t belong, or at some point felt like they didn’t need to carry on, they weren’t needed. So I think it’s important to show each other, “Look, we’re all in this together, we all feel this way, let’s work together.” —LGBTQ activist, speaker, and social media influencer Cole Ledford
