Gay, trans, black and homeless: Inside Philly’s LGBTQ Home for Hope

The neighborhood, a mix of shopping plazas and burnt out buildings, shows signs of decay along with promising new commerce. Two cats streak down the street, one dodges under a car and another climbs a fence. A few men sit on a nearby porch drinking from paper bags. A couple mingles close in the shadows of a streetlight, their faces obscured after dark.
