Each year, HMI typically provides over 2,000 youth with a broad range of vital direct services. HMI youth members come from 172 zip codes throughout all five boroughs of New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area. Youth members have access to a full array of developmental programs and services, including Mental Health and Wellness, Education, Workforce Development, Basic and Emergency Resources.

The overwhelming majority of queer and trans youth who come to HMI for support have experienced frequent incidents of rejection, ridicule, and violence, often at the hands of their own families. The consequences of these experiences can be dire.
