The Ali Forney Center hosts an annual conference that brings together groups combatting LGBTQ+ homelessness from around the globe. Organizations eager to learn about our mission and replicate AFC's model are invited to attend. This body of work helps these organizations provide a safe space for at-risk LGBTQ+ youth outside of New York City, and is led by our founder, Carl Siciliano, and our Director of Technical Assistance and Advocacy, Nadia Swanson. By providing opportunities like this, our goal is to provide program support, community building and education to increase the amount of safe and affirming programs around the world.

What We Do

The National Technical Assistance Program works to support communities seeking to launch or enhance services for LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness. We will advise you on implementing strategies to grow your programs, increasing internal capacity and education.
