Project SAFE is a lifeline for LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in Miami-Dade County. This vital program assists in-need community members with the referral and linkage-to-care process, connecting individuals with local social service and emergency shelter providers. Project SAFE's comprehensive care coordination addresses the unique needs of each individual, whether for HIV prevention, treatment and care, group-based substance misuse discussion & support, 1:1 mental health counseling, pantry / grocery support, and even access to clothing and personal care products available in our free-of-charge SAFE Shop. Participants also enjoy access to safe and affirming programming, including warm showers, 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. If you or someone you know requires support, contact Project SAFE today at (305) 571-9601.

“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
