Weve got partnerships and those have welcomed the lgbt communities and theyve been providing those services and weve partnered them. Our immigrant groups have helped the Lgbt Community. While this project has been developed weve been recruiting within those lgbt homeless folks. Our daily operations are as minimally intrusive to the neighborhood.

We have two case managers that take care of housing. They invite the shelter on various evening and they also go during the day.
