A garbage bag. That's often all a child is given to carry their belongings the day they're removed from their home and enter foster care.

Now imagine that same child is also LGBTQ+ and has spent years hiding who they are just to feel safe. Hundreds of these kids live in San Diego and all over SoCal. LGBTQ+ youth make up 30% of children in foster care and are up to 7 times more likely to enter the system than their peers.

Then comes their 18th birthday. For LGBTQ+ transition-age youth, aging out of foster care means facing a 120% higher risk of homelessness — often with no family to call and nowhere to go. 💔

But there's hope. In a San Diego Union-Tribune op-ed this Pride Month, our CEO Teresa Stivers and Walden volunteer Dwayne Wynne shared what changes that outcome: stable, affirming housing for former foster youth, life skills coaching, tuition support, and - most powerfully - one consistent adult who shows up and doesn't leave.

The Trevor Project found LGBTQ+ youth with even one caring adult in their corner have dramatically better outcomes. That's the promise behind Walden's Transitional Housing Program for youth ages 18–26 across San Diego.

Before their trauma. Before their circumstances. Every LGBTQ+ child in foster care is a young person first — and their time in care is a chapter, not the whole story. 💛
