Youth Homelessness Matters Day

April 20 is Youth Homelessness Matters Day.

Did you know that LGBTIQA+ young people are much more likely to experience homelessness than their straight and cisgender peers? In a recent study, Writing Themselves In 4, 23.6% of those surveyed (LGBTIQA+ people aged 14-21 from across Australia) had experienced at least one form of homelessness. This was most common among trans and gender diverse young people.

All this week we will be highlighting the voices and experiences of young LGBTIQA+ people who told Twenty10 about what home means for them. We will update this post with links to the videos when they’re available!

Twenty10 works to combat homelessness among LGBTIQA+ young people through our transitional housing program, which provides a safe place for young people to stay. We also provide early intervention services through counselling and groups.

Support our continuing work with a donation and share our posts on social media!
