New Short Report on LGBTQ Homeless Youth from the HYP
The CA Homeless Youth Project is proud to announce our new special issue policy brief, Struggling to Survive: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning Homeless Youth on the Streets of California. Through a review of existing research and conversations with both homeless youth and the service providers who work with them, this policy brief highlights the disparities within the homeless youth community, as well as the challenges these youth face both at home prior to being forced to leave and once they enter life on the streets. This report draws attention to the need for expedient community and policy solutions to address the issue of LGBTQ homeless youth in our state.
Feel free to send your comments or questions to shyatt@library.ca.gov. We hope you enjoy this informative new report!
