Urban Institute LGBTQ+ Research

Housing & Shelter · Minnesota · Free

Research on LGBTQ+ housing, employment, and social needs. Useful for trans women of color facing the highest rates of housing instability and violence in shelters. Most stays in emergency shelter are 30–90 days while you work with case management on next steps. Domestic violence shelters increasingly accept LGBTQ+ survivors, including trans women — ask before assuming you're not welcome. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
