To end homelessness for all LGBTQ+ youth by providing them with the skills and support needed to live independently.
We envision a world where all youth feel safe and supported to live and love authentically.
Lost-n-Found Youth was started by a group of local Atlanta activists. They were turned away when attempting to place queer youth into local shelters and youth aid programs, and resolved that something needed to be done to address the immediate need.
They called a public town hall meeting and invited these local unhoused youth support agencies to express outrage and determine what resources existed. The meeting made clear that no organization was specifically actively working to take unhoused LGBTQ+ youth off the street. The group assembled in November 2011 to establish a privately funded emergency shelter, and the Saint Lost and Found project (now Lost-n-Found Youth, Inc.) was born.

Sometimes, support starts with a helping hand and a moment of connection. LnFY meets people where they are, offering care kits, a listening ear, and space for conversation. Each interaction is an opportunity to listen, build trust, and remind someone that they matter.💛 Beyond the everyday essentials, outreach creates space for people to share what’s on their minds and what support could look like for them. It’s about building relationships rooted in dignity, trust, and care. 💜 🔗Learn ways you can support with the link in our bio. #LostNFoundYouth #StreetOutreach #CommunityCare #CompassionInAction

Affirmation starts with listening, respecting identity, and showing up. For LGBTQ+ youth facing family rejection or unstable housing, a supportive adult can be a vital lifeline, helping them find safety, resources, and belonging. At Lost-n-Found Youth, we believe every young person deserves to feel seen, supported, and valued, with a safe place to call home. Be the adult who listens, affirms, and reminds them they belong.💛 #LostNFoundYouth #AffirmingAdults #SupportLGBTQYouth #EndYouthHomelessness #YouBelong

What a day. ❤️ This past Saturday, we came together at Piedmont Park for AIDS Walk Atlanta, walking, remembering, celebrating, and showing up for a future where no one has to face HIV or AIDS alone.

At LnFY, we want houses to become homes. These houses give LGBTQ+ youth a stable place to live while they work toward their next steps. Having our case managers based in the homes also means they have more flexibility to spend time with youth, help with day to day needs, and provide support when it’s needed. And so much of what makes these spaces feel like home has come from our community. Donations have helped furnish the houses, create comfortable shared spaces, and turn them into places where young people can actually live and feel at home. Want to be part of what’s next? Donate, volunteer, or shop the Lost-n-Found Youth Thrift Store. Every bit helps. Visit our link in bio to learn more. #LostnFoundYouth #LGBTQYouth #YouthHousing

🚨 Urgently Needed! 🚨 Fall is just around the corner, and our youth need your support. As temperatures begin to drop, Lost-n-Found Youth is urgently seeking essential items to help LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness across Atlanta. Right now, we’re especially in need of tents, sleeping bags, jeans and denim, socks, and sweatshirts and hoodies. These everyday essentials can provide warmth, comfort, and a little more security for youth navigating life without a safe place to call home. If you’re able to help, please consider donating one of these much-needed items this fall. Together, we can make sure Atlanta’s youth are prepared for the season ahead.

REMINDER! We are giving away a $200 dollar gift card to the LnFY Thrift Store! Join Team LnFY for AIDS Walk Atlanta, make a minimum $25 donation, and you’ll be entered into the giveaway! The gift card is great. But what matters most is showing up. We’re walking together, and we want you there. 💛 AIDS Walk Atlanta brings our community together to raise awareness, support people living with HIV, remember those we’ve lost, and help fund the organizations doing this work year-round. For us, it’s about community. It’s about showing up for each other. And it’s about making sure young people, especially LGBTQ+ youth, have people in their corner. So come walk with us. Bring your good walking shoes. Bring your friends. Bring your family. 🌈 📅 Saturday, September 26 📍 Piedmont Park 💛 Join Team LnFY + make a $25 minimum donation in LnFY’s name to be entered Let’s fill the park with Team LnFY. And if you happen to win $200 to spend at the thrift store? We won’t complain.

Sometimes, support looks like this. Here, two of our youth are working together on job applications. One of those everyday moments that says a lot about what community can look like. At LnFY, we spend a lot of time with our youth building skills, preparing for employment, and navigating the challenges that come with transitioning into adulthood. But in the in-between moments, something just as important happens: our youth show up for each other. Every young person who walks through our doors brings their own background, experiences, and strengths. When those experiences come together, you see the power of connection and why creating spaces where LGBTQ+ youth can support one another matters so much. These are the moments we’re grateful to be a part of. And they’re moments we get to share because of your support. 💛

Okay, but what’s better than finding a thrifted piece that you actually want to take home? 👀 Our friend here knows what he likes, cool furniture, clothes that fit, and those unexpected finds. That’s what makes thrifting at LnFY so fun. You never know what you’ll find, and every purchase helps support LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. 💛 Come see what you can find. 📍 2585 Chantilly Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30324

Acceptance isn't just a nice thing to have. It can make a real difference. LGBTQ+ youth in accepting communities report suicide attempts at one-third the rate of those in unaccepting communities. Every young person deserves to feel safe, supported, and accepted for who they are. That’s why safe spaces, affirming adults, and community matter so much. At LnFY, we’re committed to creating that kind of community for LGBTQ+ youth. 💛

This fall, shop with purpose 🍂 On Monday, 9/7, enjoy 50% off our entire thrift store. Your purchases help support LGBTQ+ youth working toward stability in Atlanta. 📍 2585 Chantilly Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 #FallSavings #SupportLGBTQYouth #LostNFoundYouth

Sometimes, asking for help isn’t easy, especially when you’re experiencing homelessness. That’s why Lost-n-Found Youth brings support directly to the streets. Our street outreach team meets LGBTQ+ youth where they are, offering connection, essential resources, and a path toward safety and stability. It’s about showing up, building trust, and letting young people know they don’t have to face this alone. Because every young person deserves to be seen, supported, and reminded that someone is looking out for them. 💜

Last year, our incredible supporter helped rally their community and became one of Lost-n-Found Youth’s top fundraisers at AIDS Walk Atlanta. 💛 We are so grateful for not just him, but all the people who have continued to show up for LnFY.
