Urban Institute LGBTQ+ Research

Housing & Shelter · California · Free

Research on LGBTQ+ housing, employment, and social needs. Relevant for couples and chosen families needing housing where they won't be separated or harassed. Case managers help navigate Section 8, public housing, and rapid-rehousing programs while you're stable in shelter. Family rejection is the #1 cause of LGBTQ+ youth homelessness — interventions sometimes restore housing if family is willing to work with counselors. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
