Join our TED-style talk on subjects of interest to the LGBT community by partners serving them.
The LGBTQ+ Services Committee of the Indianapolis Public Library is partnering with 4 organizations serving the LGBT community in Indianapolis to share information about their areas of expertise and the services that they offer. Presentations will be held in the Indianapolis Special Collections Room on the 6th floor of Central Library. Presenting organizations include Trinity Haven, Gender Nexus, BU Wellness and Step Up.
Trinity Haven is a non-profit organization that provides housing options and supportive services for LGBTQ young adults, including a long-term Transitional Living Program (TLP) which offers up to 24 months of housing, stabilization assistance, support services, independent living skills, case management, and care coordination for young adults in the state of Indiana; as well as a short-term Host Homes Program (HHP) which offers an average of 6 months of housing and intensive case management, and is limited to Indianapolis/Marion County. Our Youth Engagement Specialist assists with permanent housing placement for those exiting our TLP and HHP.
The goal of Trinity Haven is to intervene before young people experience chronic homelessness, and to help them pursue their education and develop the skills to thrive in the world independently.
As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
