Working towards a world where every LGBTQIA+ asylum seeker is welcomed, supported, and affirmed as their most authentic selves.

Asylum Pride House was founded in 2022 with the mission to provide housing and necessary initial resources to LGBTQ+ asylum seekers in Philadelphia PA. We work closely with local and national organizations to serve the LGBTQIA+ asylum seeking community.

Asylum Pride House’s current program runs out of a five-bedroom apartment in West Philly and offers long term housing solely to LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers.
