Placing this (unsourced) content from the Ali Forney article here:

The "Ali Forney Drop-in Center" is the entry point to the homeless youth program, offering street outreach, case management, primary medical care, HIV testing, mental health assessment and treatment, food and showers, an employment assistance program, and referral to its housing programs. The "AFC Emergency Housing Program" offers a scattered-site emergency housing program with sites in Manhattan and Brooklyn. AFC offers temporary housing in safe, staff-supervised homelike apartments. Youths are able to reside for up to six months while they are assisted in moving to more permanent housing. The Bea Arthur Residence, an 18-bed residence in Manhattan for homeless LGBT youth, is also operated by the Ali Forney Center.

In popular culture

In September 2007, The Advocate magazine featured the Ali Forney Center.
Bea Arthur, star of the American TV series The Golden Girls and Maude, left $300,000 to AFC in her will to help gay homeless youths.
A charity single, a remake of "That's What Friends Are For" was released by the musicians known as "The Friends Project" in support of the Ali Forney Center. It featured Alan Cumming, David Raleigh, Billy Porter and Ari Gold. The song was arranged and produced by Australian singer Nathan Leigh Jones and was directed by Michael Akers.
