Notes
"True Colors United implements innovative solutions to youth homelessness that focus on the unique experiences of LGBTQ young people." While True Colors United is not a direct service provider, it functions as a technical assistance provider for existing shelters to help them become more inclusive for LGBTQ youth seeking services.
"We're creating a world where all young people can be their true selves. LGBTQ young people are 120% more likely to experience homelessness than all other youth. We believe that when services are safe for and affirming of the most impacted young people, they’ll be safe and affirming for everyone."
"Through a wide array of advocacy, training & education, youth collaboration, and technical assistance programs, True Colors United implements innovative solutions to youth homelessness that focus on the unique experiences of LGBTQ young people."
