Orlando Organization housing LGBTQ youth needs help after missing out on state funding
ORLANDO, Fla. – Zebra Coalition, which helps homeless members of the LGBTQ community, says it missed out on critical state funding that would help with a renovation project aimed at expanding efforts to give kids a home.
“This is ridiculous, that made me so mad, I was shaking because I thought Zebra was going to get more beds, and we’ll get everything they always wanted, what I always wanted,” Reginald Collins said.
The Davis Park Motel will provide the first stand-alone housing building for LGBTQ+ youth in Central Florida with 20 single and double occupancy rooms.
