About this place Fondation Le Refuge Paris

Le Refuge is a French foundation that houses and supports young LGBTQ people, roughly 14 to 25, who have been thrown out or cut off by their families. Alongside emergency accommodation it provides social and psychological follow-up and runs a national helpline, with branches in many French cities as well as Paris. This listing near Aligre in the 12th arrondissement is not a drop-in venue for travellers. If you want to help, donating or volunteering through le-refuge.org is the way in. Young people in crisis should contact the foundation directly through its website or helpline rather than turning up at the address.

Don't waste your time, there's no one there. I've been trying to contact Le Refuge for several weeks now regarding an emergency (I was about to be evicted by my homophobic "parents"). I've called, I've sent messages detailing my situation to both numbers, but no response. Meanwhile, they're playing the hero on social media and collecting donations. I don't know about the association in Montpellier, but don't support the Paris branch.

No ones here, impossible to go inside, you should wait when someone is open big door, no any sign, no one dont know where is this organisation. We've standing here already about hour and no reaction at knocking, no reaction at calls and doorbell. Dont waste your time. I think this organisation is dead

Hello, I spoke with a young gay man of North African descent, rejected by his home and soon to be homeless... I told him to contact you. For the past two days, he's been calling the mobile number listed on the website, almost every hour... No one answers! He's left messages. This person is even thinking about suicide... and on your end, no one is responding? Meanwhile, you're continuing the communication and posting stories on Instagram? Shouldn't your priority be providing a dedicated phone line? Outrageous.
