How being home helped Blair in other areas of her life

With a place to call home, Blair had the safety and stability she needed to develop her sense of self. Here’s how finding a home helped Blair in other areas of her life:

Home

“We were mainly focused on stable accommodation. We wanted somewhere she felt safe, secure and connected to the LGBTQ community.” Morgana

Safety

“I’m comfortable and safe here.” Blair

Empowerment

“I want to be loved. I want to have friends. I want to have a family and just be seen.” Blair
