Casa 1 is an organization located in the central region of the city of São Paulo and collectively financed by civil society. Its structure is organic and is constantly changing, always thinking about and promoting structural changes. The initiative has three main fronts: a shelter for LGBTQIA+ youth expelled from home because of their sexual orientations and gender identities; a cultural center, where cultural and educational activities are offered, with a focus on promoting cultural diversity, the exchange of knowledge and culture, and also constituting a free and inclusive program for its diverse audiences; and the social clinic, which offers psychotherapeutic care, specific medical care and holistic therapies, always with humanized perspectives and focused on the promotion of mental health, especially for the LGBTQIA+ community.
