This documentary follows the journeys of six LGBT homeless young people over 18 months. Their lives typify the experience of the 300,000 homeless youth on American streets every night, 40% of them LGBT. A Road to Home shows how its characters land in the streets of NYC, learn to survive there, and struggle to find shelter and a healing sense of direction. In the course of their journeys, four of them receive aid from the Ali Forney Center, a program devoted solely to homeless LGBT youth. The struggle of its founder Carl Siciliano to keep its programs alive mirrors the journeys of the kids themselves.
