2017 LGBTQ2S Adult Housing Needs Assessment

This report presents findings from the 2SLGBTQIA+ (2 spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual) Adult Housing Needs Assessment. The report is prepared for Daybreak Non-Profit Housing and the study received funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The purpose of the needs assessment was to examine the housing and support needs of 2SLGBTQIA+ adults who have experienced homelessness. It is an important area of research, as there is a dearth of information on the topic and it is not known if 2SLGBTQIA+ adults feel supported in the current homeless and housing system.
