Survival Among Male Homeless Adolescents
Description:
Approximately 1.7 million unaccompanied adolescents are believed to be homeless in America; this is 7% of the total homeless population. Of the 1.7 million, 40% to 60% are queer. Although often unrecognized by society, social services and policy-makers queer adolescents are over-represented among the homeless. Homelessness is a personal, familial, social and community phenomenon. This crisis is amplified for youth due to their limited social, economic and legal resources.
