Home for homeless GLBT youth
May. 21, 2011 - The Wanda Alston House in northeast D.C. is a transitional housing space for homeless gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth between ages 16 and 24. Residents can live in the house, which is run by the nonprofit Transgender Health Empowerment, for up to 18 months while they attend school and get jobs. Sarah Feliciano, who has lived in the Wanda Alston House since March, is a transgender female who became homeless after her mother rejected her decision to live as a woman.
