Founded by an Episcopal parish, the first shelter for LGBTQ+ youth in Indiana offers refuge to the rejected

When the Trinity Haven house in Indianapolis opened its doors in April 2021, it was the first shelter specifically for LGBTQ+ young people in Indiana. Now, almost two years later, it has housed 30 young people who hadn’t had stable homes. Trinity Haven, founded by Trinity Episcopal Church and affiliated with the Diocese of Indianapolis, was created to provide a supportive and accepting environment for LGBTQ+ people ages 16–21 who left or were kicked out of their family homes because of their identity.
