Restoring Pride
In our selves. In our community.
Restoring Pride provides safe, stable, transitional housing to all members of the LGBTQ community who are homeless and suffering from addiction so they can begin anew.
Homelessness is a growing problem everywhere.
You may not see it walking around Hillcrest or Boystown, but they are there. Once anyone becomes homeless, regardless of their sexual orientation, it is next to impossible to pick oneself back up in this country. In order to solve homelessness, we all have to get involved. We shouldn't be ok with seeing our friends, relatives, neighbors, with out any support to pick themselves back up again.
All too often members of the LGBTQ community live their lives in a world that does not want them to exist.
Our community has come a long way from the days of the Stonewall Riots in a very short period of time. It's time now we take a look at another marginalized population and come up with a community based solution. This is how we've accomplished so much, so fast. The whole community banning together to fight for each other. Let's do that again. It works.
