Our panel will explore the systemic issues and societal stigmas that contribute to LGBTQ+ homelessness, as well as the barriers to accessing support services and safe housing. Through real-life stories and data-driven insights, we will examine the disproportionate rates of homelessness among LGBTQ+ youth and adults, and the impact of discrimination, family rejection, and economic instability on their well-being.
