Thrive has two street outreach workers who provide services to homeless young adults who live on the streets. We provide survival backpacks which include hygiene items, first aid items, socks, snacks, water, and resource guides that highlight services throughout Bexar County. Our main objective is to try to get these young adults off the streets and into shelters, whether it be Thrive or another program.

Must be homeless young adults located in San Antonio/Bexar County.

Many people would describe us as a homeless shelter, but we are so much more. We help and serve families with children who are willing to do their part to help themselves. The adults work and seek employment. We also have them attend classes and group meetings that focus on their individual and family needs. We like to use tools such as food, clothing and shelter to share the truth that a relationship with Jesus Christ is the most important necessity in life.

Three days a week members of the church serve their homeless neighbors with a meal, ministry and music.

4.2 million youth in the United States experience homelessness each year. LGBTQ+ youth are 120% more likely to experience homelessness due to family conflicts, rejection, aging out of the foster care system, and poverty. Thrive’s emergency shelter is housed on the campus of Haven for Hope and provides 10 young adults with shelter for up to 6 months.

The core services at our emergency shelter include not only basic needs of food and shelter but individually tailored and youth-directed case management plans to help young adults move forward in exiting homelessness.

While LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness have similar needs to their non-LGBTQ+ peers, they also have additional unique needs specific to their identities.Thrive assists young adults with linkage to resources such as ID recovery, counseling, medical services, gender-affirming care, educational opportunities, and vocational training in a safe and supportive environment.

Our focus is to help remove barriers that young adults may encounter in seeking services and help guide them toward their next move in achieving their goals.

Any LGBTQ youth and young adults are provided shelter up to 6 months.
