Our platform is dedicated to empowering Shelters with the resources they need to better their service provision and thrive into inclusivity of the LGBTQ youths.
This toolkit serves as a comprehensive guide to help you establish a more inclusive and affirming space for young people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ), equipped with policies and tools to support your efforts.
We’re excited to introduce our LGBTQ+ Inclusive Shelter Intake Form, designed to help our network members streamline the intake process and provide tailored support for clients. This form captures important information about a client’s needs, preferences, and accommodations, ensuring they receive safe and respectful care within our shelters. With sections for personal details, housing background, safety concerns, and specific support needs, this intake form is a valuable tool for ensuring our LGBTQ+ clients feel welcomed and supported right from the start. We encourage all member organizations to integrate this resource to create a compassionate, inclusive intake experience.
To strengthen collaboration and continuity of care across our network, SOCFH is introducing the Client Interagency Referral Form. This form facilitates smooth referrals between member shelters and partner organizations, allowing clients to access the full range of services they need. By sharing essential information on client background, specific needs, and safety accommodations, this referral form ensures that clients receive consistent support as they transition between services. We’re committed to helping clients move seamlessly through our network, and this form is an important step in making that possible.
