This crisis of homelessness impacts many populations and communities across the nation. However, some groups experience homelessness at disproportionate rates due to factors such as discrimination, economic oppression, and racist policies and practices. LGBTQI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, and Intersex) people, particularly transgender people of color, are disproportionately likely to experience homelessness. A disproportionate number of the nation’s youth experiencing homelessness identify as LGBTQI. Despite the wide-reaching impacts of these disparities, there is limited awareness among social services professionals as to how to create inclusive and affirming services to address the root causes of homelessness among LGBTQI-identifying individuals.
