Housing & Shelter · Florida · Free

Jacksonville LGBTQ+ youth center providing health, housing, advocacy. Worth contacting for sober-living houses that explicitly welcome LGBTQ+ residents. Most LGBTQ+ shelters accept walk-ins for intake; bring ID and any medications. Family rejection is the #1 cause of LGBTQ+ youth homelessness — interventions sometimes restore housing if family is willing to work with counselors. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Florida residents and allies.
