About this listen

LGBTQ+ young people are sadly more likely to experience homelessness than their heterosexual and cisgender peers, and are overrepresented in the youth homelessness population, as we found in our 2019 report: ‘Out on the Streets’.

To try to understand why this is, we talk to two of Wales’ leading researchers on the subject - Rania Vamvaka and Dr. Edith England, as well as a young trans person, ‘Ghost’, about their perspectives on this issue.

We discuss how homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia, as well as an increasingly hostile political environment, increase the risk of young LGBTQ+, and particularly trans people, experiencing homelessness.

We also get into some of the solutions that work to address this issue, including the ground-breaking ‘Ty Pride’ project.
