Joshua Home an LGBTQ Safe Haven

Joshua Home was founded to create and advocate for permanent Gender-Inclusive housing solutions and opportunities, supportive services, and programs for Homeless LGBTQ+ Youth in the Inland Empire of Southern California. We are committed to ending LGBTQ+ youth homelessness in the Inland Empire.

Joshua Home is a safe haven that provides personalized programs for at-risk LGBTQ+ youth aged 12 to 24 who may be homeless, in foster or group homes, or in the foster care or juvenile justice systems. Our goal is to foster positive self-awareness, academic development, independent living skills, sustainability, and conflict resolution for each individual youth in a safe, stable, empowering, and loving home environment.

At The CENTER @ Joshua Home, we provide a range of services and programs that are designed to support LGBTQ+ youth who are experiencing homelessness in the Inland Empire as they build the skills and resilience they need to achieve their goals and live fulfilling lives. Through our team and community partners, we work to ensure that our young people have access to the resources they need to survive and thrive!

• Academic Support
  • We provide educational support to help young people stay on track with their academic goals, whether they are pursuing a high school diploma or a college degree. Our program includes tutoring, study skills workshops, and assistance with college applications and financial aid.
    
    
• Parent Mentoring
  • Families play a critical role in the lives of LGBTQ+ youth, and we are committed to supporting parents as they navigate the challenges of raising LGBTQ+ children. That's why we offer a parent mentoring service to help parents build the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to support their LGBTQ+ children.
    
    
• Life Skills Development
  • We offer life skills development workshops and classes to help young people build the practical skills they need to live independently. Our program includes financial literacy, cooking and nutrition, gardening, job readiness and other essential life skills.
    
    
• Basic Needs Support
  • Meeting basic needs is a critical first step in helping LGBTQ+ youth who are experiencing homelessness. That's why we provide essential resources to young people in need, including clothing, personal hygiene items, and other essential resources to ensure that our young people have access to the resources they need to survive and thrive.
