If you’re looking for affirming housing support, you’re in the right place.
Since our founding in 1984, SMYAL has provided LGBTQ+ with safe, affirming, and empowering spaces where they can be fully themselves. And while the needs of LGBTQ+ youth have evolved over the last four decades, SMYAL’s dynamic work to best support young people has also evolved to meet the moment.
Our services are made possible by the generous contributions of our community.
Help SMYAL continue to make a difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ youth.
