Urban Institute LGBTQ+ Research

Housing & Shelter · Nevada · 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 LGBTQ+ shelters accept walk-ins for intake; bring ID and any medications. Family rejection is the #1 cause of LGBTQ+ youth homelessness — interventions sometimes restore housing if family is willing to work with counselors. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Nevada residents and allies.
