I do not know if we have specific statistics but the Senator's question is excellent. Two things come to mind in responding. One is whether young LGBT homeless people are homeless as a result of their sexual identity. I do not know. Second, if they are part of the homeless population - no doubt they are - is the question of whether there are special supports for them to mitigate the harm which young people experience as a result of being homeless. My officials may know if we have this information.
