Supporting the LGBTQ community

SOUTH PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A new facility in South Philadelphia will help a community many feel is under served.

The Courage Home is partnering with Divine Light to form a Wellness Center and shelter for LGBTQ youth and adults.

Founder Mandy Lange was inspired to help after her 12 year old son came out as gay to their family.

The organization aims to not only give young people place to stay, but to also provide support, and help them find a job to get back on their feet.
