LGBTIQ Inclusion Toolkit

According to the Fundamental Rights Agency 1 in 5 LGBTIQ people have had an experience of homelessness, rising to 1 in 3 for trans people, while 39% of intersex people have experienced homelessness. LGBTIQ people are over-represented in homeless services. Research from Ireland, Denmark, France, Germany, UK, Canada, and the US consistently shows that LGBTIQ people experience homophobia, transphobia, and discrimination within services. 

As a sector there is a lot that we can do to improve how we support LGBTIQ people experiencing homelessness. 

This inclusion toolkit is designed to aid homeless services in improving how they support the LGBTIQ community.
