“Voice identified” counts the meetings where we could attribute a member’s voice.

Despite New York City’s reputation as a place of inclusion, LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly transgender and gender non-conforming people, LGBTQ+ youth, and LGBTQ+ people of color remain disproportionately impacted by housing insecurity. Many are forced from their homes due to family rejection. Many face barriers to accessing safe and affirming shelters, and many encounter discrimination when seeking permanent affordable housing.”

In 2017, a survey of queer older adults, you know, nearly one-quarter of the respondents earned less than 30% of area median income. And nearly 1 in 4 of the respondents reported living in substandard housing, and some even in shelters.”
