Happy Pride! All families deserve safety, belonging, and support. We are proud to work with and welcome all families in our programs.

We also know that LGBTQ+ youth are disproportionately represented in the child welfare system and are more likely to experience negative outcomes, including difficulty securing a permanent family. If your family is open to being a safe, permanent home for a youth in care, please reach out to us at foster@chomepgh.org
