Nearly fifty percent of homeless youth in Kansas City are LGBTQ. We’re on a mission to change that.
We are a LGBTQ-specific transitional and rapid re-housing program. We seek to address the core problems causing LGBTQ homelessness by providing a community first and housing plus approach.
Transitional Housing Transitional housing is a short term housing program that is designed to best support specific segments of the homeless population, including working homeless people who are earning too little money to afford long-term housing.
Rapid Re-Housing Rapid Re-housing is designed to serve those who could reasonably be approved for a lease, but are financially unable to afford the cost of living. Our program assist with those expenses.
Lion House is the first program dedicated to serving specifically the LGBTQ community and as such we approach the problem from a different angle. The wrap around services provided by Our Spot KC and Lion House Program staff help equip LGBTQ people and their families with the tools and the knowledge necessary to reach their goals of stable and sustainable housing.
Our program led by members of the community it serves and as such we have a unique understanding of identities, challenges and the culture of being an LGBTQ person in the Kansas City area. We understand that family is more than just blood and legal paperwork, we understand that your ID might have the wrong name on it, we understand what it means to have to come out, not just once, but over and over again.
