With LGBTIQA+SB people experiencing homelessness at more than twice the rate of the general Australian population, we discuss how you can find safe accommodation services for LGBTIQA+SB people, how to rebuild your life after losing your home, and where to find help to access social supports.
We offer helpful information and practical advice for issues faced in particular by older LGBTIQA+SB people, and at the other end of the spectrum, for issues frequently encountered by young LGBTIQA+SB people as well as their parents and guardians.
