Report Launch

International Study for LGBTQIA+ Homeless Youth Assessing Risks & Empowerment Tools

This report aims to be innovative, rigorous, and politically impactful. Its goal is to study how LGBTQIA+ youth (16–24) experiencing homelessness face heightened risks of falling into alcoholism, drug use, sex trafficking, prostitution, and suicide. At the same time, it introduces a novel research approach by measuring two rarely studied variables:

The impact of digital access (internet, laptops, phones, tablets).
The role of class consciousness in life outcomes.

Proposed Report Title:

“Fractured Futures: LGBTQIA+ Youth Homelessness, Risk Exposure, and the Power of Knowledge & Digital Access”
