About this ebook
Housing Stability Indicators explores the critical issue of housing inequality, specifically focusing on the disproportionate rates of housing instability and homelessness experienced by LGBTQ individuals.
It argues that systemic discrimination, embedded within housing policies and practices, is a primary driver of these disparities, rather than individual circumstances.
The book highlights the intersectionality of identities, recognizing that race, class, and other factors compound housing challenges for LGBTQ individuals.
Understanding the historical context of discriminatory housing practices, including those once legal, is essential to grasp the present-day obstacles.
The book presents its findings through a multi-faceted approach, combining quantitative data from national surveys with qualitative insights from interviews and focus groups.
It examines barriers to accessing shelter, such as discrimination from service providers and a lack of affirming spaces.
Ultimately, the book proposes evidence-based policy recommendations aimed at promoting equity and inclusion, offering practical insights for policymakers, housing advocates, and social workers.
