Personalized Resource Planning

Queer-Friendly Personalized Resource Planning
Our compassionate and skilled resource staff can work with you to create a personalized resource plan that fits your unique needs. From basics like food and shelter to long-term planning toward mental and physical wellness, Affirmations can help you get on a path toward success and fulfillment.
Members of the LGBTQ+ community face discrimination and other challenges that can make navigating systems and processes feel hopeless. We’ve got your back with our trained staff and network of resource providers to help you make connections and overcome barriers. You don’t have to go it alone.
