INJUSTICE AT EVERY TURN: A REPORT OF THE NATIONAL TRANSGENDER DISCRIMINATION SURVEY

Homelessness is one of the most pressing issues facing a disproportionate number of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) youth in our country today. In the 10 years since we released our pioneering report, “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Youth: An Epidemic of Homelessness,” we’re both heartened by the progress that’s been made, and acutely aware of the work that still needs to be done.
Done by the National LGBTQ Task Force and the True Colors Fund, this collaborative resource is the first-of-its-kind online publication highlighting innovative approaches to support you experiencing homelessness. It also provides case studies of successful models and concrete solutions to ending LGBTQ youth homelessness.
