Knowing that there are so many LGBTQ+ young people who don’t know where their next meal is going to come from should be reason enough. But if not, knowing the choice lies in you to be able to help so many in our community stand on their own feet, live beyond their circumstance, thrive and enjoy the things that many take for granted: the power of chosen family, healthy and delicious food, a bed to sleep in, plus a support system that only AFC and all associated can provide. That’s why it is important. Please join us today and support We Are Family!

Ali Forney Center's mission is to protect LGBTQIA+ youth from the harms of homelessness and empower them with the tools needed to live independently. Committed to saving the lives of LGBTQIA+ young people, Carl Siciliano founded the Ali Forney Center (AFC) in memory of Ali in 2002. Since AFC's launch with just six beds in a church basement, the organization has grown to become the largest agency dedicated to LGBTQ homeless youths in the country—assisting nearly 1,400 youths per year through a 24-hour Drop-In Center which provides over 400,000 meals annually, medical & mental health services through an on-site clinic, & a scattered-site housing program. AFC's mission is to provide LGBTQIA+ young people housing and a continuum of supportive services to help them thrive & prepare them for independent living.
