The Issues: Housing & Homelessness

Back to All Issues

At CUNTS-PAC, we believe that every individual deserves a safe and stable place to call home. Unfortunately, many LGBTQIA+ individuals face significant barriers to housing and are disproportionately represented among the homeless population. We are committed to advocating for the rights and needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals who are experiencing housing instability or homelessness.

The Challenges Faced by LGBTQIA+ Individuals

LGBTQIA+ individuals face numerous challenges in accessing safe and affordable housing, including:

  • Discrimination by landlords and property managers
  • Lack of access to affordable housing options
  • High rates of homelessness among LGBTQIA+ youth and adults
  • Limited access to housing programs and services that cater to the unique needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals

Our Vision for Housing and Homelessness

We envision a world where every LGBTQIA+ individual has access to safe, affordable, and inclusive housing, without fear of discrimination or marginalization. To achieve this, we advocate for:

  • Increased access to affordable housing options
  • Improved protection from discrimination in housing
  • Increased funding for housing programs and services that cater to the unique needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals
  • Improved data collection and research on LGBTQIA+ housing instability and homelessness

What We're Fighting For

We're fighting for a world where:

  • LGBTQIA+ individuals can access safe and affordable housing without fear of discrimination or marginalization.
  • LGBTQIA+ individuals have access to housing programs and services that cater to their unique needs.
  • LGBTQIA+ individuals are protected from discrimination in housing and have access to inclusive and welcoming housing environments.
