Support Full Spectrum's LGBTQIA Shelter

We are very happy to announce our brand new Full Spectrum Housing Division. This is a separate unit of our outreach division.

This has been over a 5 year project we have been working on. Opening the areas first LGBTQIA+ Adult 30-90 day Transitional Homeless Shelter.

This shelter will be the first of its kind within a 40 mile radius of the Mahoning Valley! Currently there is no 100% safe and accepting shelter in our valley. Making our LGBTQIA+ homeless clients either living on the streets or in shelters that don’t support them. This will change in 2025 when we open a caring, supportive and inclusive space for members of the LGBTQIA+ homeless population.

This shelter will also provide life skill classes, trainings, volunteer opportunities, housing assistance, and so much more for each client that stays there. Our hope is for each of them to leave with more life skills than they came in with.

We are so happy that our dream is finally coming alive next year. Stay tuned for upcoming fundraisers, events, and updates on the new space.

Please consider donating to help us make updates, repairs, and supplies to our new shelter. We are looking for individual donors and sponsorships of the space.
