Finding Our Home Campaign  

For the past 2 years, YEPP has operated out of the Broadway United Methodist Church (BUMC), using the space to provide services to unhoused LGBTQI+ youth, including laundry, showers, and our standard programming.  On February 25th, 2025, the BUMC informed us that YEPP would need to vacate our current space before March 31st, 2025.  This building has come to feel like home, and this announcement came without a comprehensive explanation nor enough time to plan our move. 

 

You can read the full statement at YEPP Statement: Advocating for Justice and Healing Amid Unexpected Eviction. 

 

Although we at YEPP are deeply saddened and disappointed by this development, we are not disheartened. We—as well as the young people we serve—are resilient and powerful, and we feel confident that with the help of our community, we can continue to further our mission of love and unity. In response to this obstacle we have launched a new fundraising campaign: "Finding Our Home".​
