After a three year hiatus, the GLBT Host Home Program will again
start matching homeless gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth

and the support that comes from living together. A House Party for the
Host Home program will be held January 25th, hosted by State Senator
Scott Dibble. For more information on the House Party or the Host Home

Electronic privacy and domestic violence
OutFront Minnesota’s Anti-Violence Program is a broad-based effort to
end violence and harassment against GLBT community members in Minnesota
as well as to be a place for victim/survivors of violence to receive
support, information/resources and advocacy services. We believe that
everyone has the right to be safe from harm-regardless of sexual
orientation.
At OutFront Minnesota, we work to create social change at every
level-from the individual to the community to the state. In the
Anti-Violence Program, we believe that this social change occurs when
we:
- Work to prevent violence from occurring against our community
members through education and increased visibility.
- Help violence survivors find their own paths to healing and
empowerment through the provision of safe and effective advocacy
support services
- Work with other organizations to create a strong network of
well-trained and supportive service providers throughout Minnesota
