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

A lot has happened since we first opened the doors to our new emergency housing. 🏡🏳️‍🌈✨ What started as empty spaces is continuing to become something so much bigger: a place where LGBTQ+ youth can rest, build routines, connect with others, and focus on what comes next. Our emergency housing is more than just a place to stay. It’s a foundation for stability, support, and new possibilities. We’re so excited to share this update with you and so grateful to every person who has helped make these spaces possible. 💙 Want to be part of what’s next?

Every opportunity LnFY has to educate, connect, and empower our youth are the moments we strive for. 💛 Through hands-on learning and working together, the youth in our program build collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills that can make an impact today and well into their future.

🚨 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.

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. We held space for the people and loved ones we’ve lost to AIDS, honored the work that continues in their memory, and celebrated the incredible community that keeps moving this fight forward. With a huge shout out to Kelly Rowland for bringing the house down and ending the walk on a high note! We’re so grateful for everyone who walked with Team Lost-n-Found Youth, cheered us on, donated, volunteered, and helped make this day what it was. And we’re proud to stand alongside the other AIDS Walk Atlanta beneficiaries doing this work across our community. A beautiful day in the park, a whole lot of love, and so much generosity behind us. 💛 Thank you for showing up. We’ll keep showing up, too.

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. 💜

Showing up loud, proud, and full of love. ❤️🌈 Last night, our community packed out @mysistersroom_msr to cheer on the incredible @iamcicinicole, who lip synced her way to 2nd place out of 8 amazing queens at the AIDS Walk Atlanta Lip Sync Battle!
