LifeTies, Inc.
Founded in 1982, LifeTies, Inc. is a supportive network of professional staff and trained volunteers dedicated to creating programs for youth to overcome the effects of abuse, neglect or homelessness. Our programs offer a nuturing, safe environment to heal, learn and become equipped with the tools to work towards a brighter future.
LifeTies' mission is to provide quality care and services to youth in crisis due to sexual orientation, gender, abuse, neglect, homelessness and/or various health issues including HIV, AIDS, Diabetes and Lupus.
LifeTies, Inc. has four programs; Triad House, Rainbow House, TILT and Mary's Place. All of our programs emphasize self-sufficiency and health care in conjunction with a commitment to prevent the ongoing generation to generation dysfunctional behavioral patterns that so drastically affect the young
people we serve.
• Triad House is a 24 hour residential group home for GLBTQ and heterosexual GLBTQ-friendly youth ages 14-18 who are victims of abuse, neglect and/or homelessness.
The majority of our adolescents are referred to us through the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) and are unable to live with their families. They have been victims of physical, emotional or sexual abuse. In a family atmosphere, these children attend school and receive services designed to meet the needs of each adolescent, including individual, group and family counseling, substance abuse assessment and referral, independent living skills, tutoring, educational planning, job readiness training and program aftercare.
• Rainbow House is a 24 hour special needs housing program for medically fragile females, ages 12-21 who are living with HIV, AIDS, Lupus and/or Diabetes.
Rainbow House is the first group home of its kind in the nation for young women affected/infected with HIV/AIDS. For the most of our residents, Rainbow House is the first nurturing and secure home they have known. We provide and coordinate a myriad of comprehensive support services through an individualized treatment plan developed for each resident. These include the same services available to Triad House residents along with additional specialized medical programs.
• TILT (Teenage Independent Living Training) is a program for older adolescence, ages 15-21, which focuses on independent living skills for those without family support.
The majority of the young people we serve have lived in some type of juvenile facility, residential or foster care situation and have “aged out” or been released. They are unable to live with their families or relatives for a variety of reasons, and while a few still remain in foster care for a brief time, most live in boarding homes, with friends, or all too often, on the streets.
TILT’s objective is to empower each of these adolescents to become self-sufficient and responsible for their own well being as they make the transition into young adulthood. Services available include advanced independent living skills training, community involvement and service, parenting skills training, life skills through the arts, youth advocacy skill and opportunity, individual and group counseling, substance abuse assessment and referral, educational planning, tutoring, job readiness training and program aftercare.
• Mary’s Place is a permanent supportive housing program for aging out youth, between the ages of 18-21. We offer scattered site housing as well as a myriad of support services aimed at empowering our residents including the TILT program.

Octane Seating
Octane Seating have created a FREE resource titled “LGBTQ+ Cinema: A Journey Through Time” highlighting the evolution of LGBTQ+ representation in film and I thought maybe you'd find it to be an insightful addition to your website. It highlights how cinema has played a crucial role in reflecting and shaping societal attitudes towards LGBTQ+ issues. The article traces the journey from early negative depictions and censorship under the Hays Code to more nuanced and authentic portrayals in modern films like “Moonlight” and “Dallas Buyers Club.” It also celebrates pioneering films and filmmakers who have significantly influenced LGBTQ+ cinema, such as “The Boys in the Band” and "Paris is Burning."
