As many as 40 percent of homeless youth identify as LGBT, and a new Williams Institute study of youth shelters confirms this estimate. Between October 2011 and March 2012, 354 agencies completed surveys about their clients and found that about 40 percent of their homeless and non-homeless clients were LGBT (9 percent of whom identified as bisexual). About 30 percent of clients using housing-related services (like emergency shelter and transitional living programs) were LGBT.

What:
The OPI's Education of Homeless Children and Youth Program encourages districts to attend regional trainings or to contact your local RESA to schedule staff trainings in your district. This training is appropriate for superintendents, transportation directors, principals, clerks, school counselors, parent liaisons or other personnel who provide services to homeless children and families. Staff from community agencies that provide services to homeless children and families are also invited to attend this training. Community agency staff members will learn how to advocate for their clients and how to effectively collaborate with schools. OPI Renewal Credits will be issued at the end of the training Workshop.
