akt is a non-profit organization based in London that supports LGBTQ+ people aged 16 to 25 who are experiencing homelessness or living in hostile environments. It notes that LGBTQ+ young people are disproportionately affected by homelessness in the UK, with many reporting familial abuse or rejection as a primary cause. The aim is to provide a safe pathway that helps this group secure stable housing and access opportunities in a welcoming setting that affirms LGBTQ+ identities. Operating in the UK nonprofit sector, akt facilitates transitions to safe homes and to employment, education, or training. The organization employs a mid-sized team and uses its London base to deliver these services.
