B. Wright Transitional house
mission
The Texas Greenhouse Project is deeply committed to addressing the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ young adults between the ages of 19-24 transitioning out of the foster care system. Our Transitional Housing Mission is dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for these young adults, who often face a disproportionate risk of homelessness and social marginalization.
Addressing Unique Challenges
LGBTQIA+ young adults between the ages of 19-24 aging out of foster care encounter a myriad of challenges including discrimination, lack of family support, and heightened vulnerability to mental health issues and economic hardship. Recognizing these challenges, TGP focuses on providing not just a roof over their heads, but a stable and accepting community where they can thrive.
Creating
a Safe Haven
Our housing initiative is more than just physical shelter; it's a sanctuary where LGBTQIA+ young adults between the ages of 19-24 can feel valued and understood. We offer a trauma-informed and inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and encourages self-expression. Our aim is to ensure that these young adults feel secure and respected in their identity.
Directed Support Services
Understanding the multifaceted needs of LGBTQIA+ young adults between the ages of 19-24, TGP offers comprehensive support services tailored to this group. This includes access to mental health counseling, career and educational guidance, life skills training, and health care services. These resources are critical in equipping them with the tools they need to navigate adulthood successfully and independently.
Empowered Through Community
At the core of our mission is the belief in the power of community. We strive to foster a sense of belonging and connection among our residents. Through community engagement, mentorship programs, and peer support groups, we create opportunities for these young adults to build supportive networks, share experiences, and develop a sense of family and community.
Advocating
for Change
TGP is not just providing housing; we are advocates for change. By addressing the specific needs of LGBTQIA+ young adults between the ages of 19-24 aging out of foster care, we aim to raise awareness about their struggles and advocate for broader social and policy changes. Our mission is to ensure that these young adults are not just surviving, but thriving, equipped with the confidence and resources to build a positive future.
