LGBTQ+ Youth represent 40% of all homeless youth in DC.
There was a 9% increase in homeless LGBTQ+ youth in 2025 PIT Count.
LGBTQ+ Youth are 120% more likely to be homeless.
To address the rise of LGBTQ+ youth homelessness, we strongly urge DC leaders to:
Fund $1.1m to double the District LGBTQ+ transitional housing beds from 22 to 44.
Allocate $500,000 for the Mayor’s Office of Community Affairs to administer 20 housing vouchers for the LGBTQ+ community.
