The Colin Project is a charitable endowment dedicated to ending the crisis of homelessness in the youth LGBTQ+ community.
Over 40% of youth homeless nationwide identify as LGBTQ+. This community is particularly at-risk. LGBTQ+ youth report twice the rate of sexual abuse by the age of 12. A third of them will be turned away from a shelter leading them to engage in survival sex within 48 hours of becoming homeless. Half of these adolescents will do so in exchange for housing or food, while two-thirds will attempt suicide. We can break this cycle before it begins and end this crisis with your help
