The Metamorphosis Project
is OUTMemphis’s holistic response to LGBTQ+ youth homelessness. The project consists of a new Youth Emergency Center, a rapid re-housing program and a Youth Emergency Services (YES) Program, which has provided food, clothes, hygiene supplies, and many other services for years.
The Metamorphosis Project is focused on providing resources and support to one of our most vulnerable populations; LGBTQ+ 18-24 year olds living on the streets.
