Support LGBTQ organizations, either locally or nationally/internationally.

Hire LGBTQ individuals and make sure their work conditions do not constitute a hostile environment. (Remote work can be a godsend for people with special needs, including the LGBTQ community.)

Help provide or support the creation of housing that is safe and welcoming for LGBTQ individuals.

LGBTQ individuals are at such high risk of homelessness that you can't reasonably expect to address homelessness effectively if you aren't helping such individuals make their lives work generally. They need help getting jobs, help finding housing that will accept them, etc.I did one page about this on the San Diego Homeless Survival Guide.

You can potentially nearly halve the incidence of homeless youth in some places by addressing the needs of the LGBTQ community.More stats, specifically about transgender individuals:That second quote is from a page on a new site that I recently started in part because I want to have a separate resource for LGBTQ individuals. It needs to be a general resource, not a homeless specific resource.These are people who need help simply making their lives work. Period.Among other things, the LGBTQ community tends to suffer from high unemployment rates, plus high rates of underemployment.

I encouraged this individual to leave an abusive situation. In part due to my support, they only spent a few days homeless under circumstances that could be described as "moving to a new city" if they desired to white wash it.So I started The Genevieve Files to try to document some best practices as I understand it based on the months that I was involved in helping this troubled youth. (As I write this page, that site is currently really small.)If homelessness is an issue that concerns you, here are some concrete things you can do to help reduce the incidence of homelessness:
