Sylvia's Place is located at 446 W.36th Street and accepts clients on a walk-in basis after 8pm daily as long as we have room. It is a good idea to call before coming to make sure there is space available (718) 300-0133. No paperwork is necessary.

Sylvia's Place is an emergency overnight shelter for LGBTQ youth (under 24). We are open 365 days/year from 8pm-8am. Curfew is at 12am. We provide hot meals (dinner and breakfast); clothing; showers; case management; physical and mental health medical services; and court advocacy.

There are a number of regular groups at Sylvia's Place, including:

• Trans Empowerment Group (Thursdays at 9pm)
• Queer Women's Group (Tuesdays at 8:30pm)
• Ballet (Thursdays at 7:30pm)
• Creative Writing (Tuesdays at 6:30pm)
  
  

 

 

Homeless Youth Services is supported by generous private donations, a variety of outside funders and, primarily, by MCCNY. MCCNY is one of hundreds of MCC churches worldwide as part of Metropolitan Community Churches (www.mccchurch.org).
