Ali Forney Center, Inc.s mission is to protect LGBTQ youth from the harm of homelessness and to support them in becoming safe and independent as they move from adolescence to adulthood.
Drop-In Center. In 2019, AFC welcomed 362 new clients at the Drop-In Center. In total, we served a total of 2002 new and returning clients at the Drop-In Center. The Drop-In Center saw expansion in its wraparound services - we began offering more clinical case management services to clients staying in the Overnight program. LEAP, our Employment and Education program, increased staffing, allowing more concrete support to clients living in our various housing programs. The Mental Health Department grew to offer AFCs first ever Creative Arts Therapy Department, with the onboarding of a Coordinator of Creative Arts Therapy & Programming and a Creative Arts Therapist. The creation of this department expanded the ability to offer creative arts therapy and groups to our youth, as well as allowed for on-site supervision to Creative Art Therapy interns.
All of the Transitional Housing Programs residents engaged in self-care activities, working towards a healthier mental, emotional, physical and/or spiritual well-being. Housing staff have continued to find creative ways to increase resident buy-in through strategic surveys and interviews. Residents continuous feedback has created stronger communication between program staff and residents in the program. This in turn has contributed to an increase in leadership qualities of residents and the eventual creation of a Resident Advisor internship. The Transgender Housing Program participated in and hosted a wide range of events for the residents including a major holiday pop up shop where residents were able to obtain designer clothing, makeup, and accessories with the assistance of a personal shopper; and culturally relevant events and shows such as Slave Play and open mics at Urban Word NYC.
Emergency Housing Program. The Emergency Housing Program expanded its point system to incentivize positive resident engagements. Residents were able to earn points for successfully completing chores, attending case management, and attending Life Skills Groups. Residents were able to redeem earned points for curfew extensions and overnight passes.
