A NEW LENS FOR NYC HOUSING PLAN: HOUSING PLAN FOR LGBTQ+ COMMUNITIES
In spite of the important efforts of both the City and its community partners, as the data shows, LGBTQ+ communities face housing instability resulting from a wide range of forces. For LGBTQ+ New Yorkers, increased vulnerability to homelessness is coupled with the fear of experiencing violence in homeless shelters.
In this new publication, CHPC explores how a housing plan for LGBTQ+ communities could help better meet the needs of LGBTQ+ New Yorkers.
Housing Plan for LGBTQ+ Communities is part of A New Lens for NYC’s Housing Plan, CHPC’s research and education initiative to explore how New York City’s next housing plan could have a broader impact beyond counting units. The next housing plan provides an opportunity for communities and policymakers to widen the discussion, articulate new metrics, and develop a shared vision of housing policy for the city.
