Transitional Living Program for Homeless Youth
"Young adults who identified as LGBTQ, ages 18 to 25, experienced homelessness within the last 12 months at over twice the rate of their heterosexual cisgender peers. LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness, who self-report between 20-40 percent of the total homeless population, are significantly overrepresented and under-resourced...transgender individuals face the greatest barriers to employment and economic security. Transgender individuals experience an unemployment rate three times greater than the nationwide rate. As a result, people who identify as transgender face high levels of poverty and housing insecurity, with one in three living in poverty, and a whopping one in four reporting that they have experienced homelessness in their lives."
