Center for American Progress — LGBTQ Housing

Housing & Shelter · Hawaii · Free

Policy research and analysis on LGBTQ+ housing discrimination and homelessness. Relevant for couples and chosen families needing housing where they won't be separated or harassed. Most LGBTQ+ shelters accept walk-ins for intake; bring ID and any medications. Family rejection is the #1 cause of LGBTQ+ youth homelessness — interventions sometimes restore housing if family is willing to work with counselors. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Hawaii residents and allies.
