I am proud of is focusing in on the Economic Opportunity and insisting that the lgbtq center offer an array of programs from transgender employment and the workforce and the housing programs and the services for Financial Planning and recognizing that as was stated that being lgbtq does not mean that you are afluent and i do believe that some of the projects that i have had the individual of working on now at hope and working with brian and tommy and supervisor campos to close the bed for the shelter and the first for the Homeless Youth alliance and i have come to appreciate how many of the young people are lgbtq and the attitudes that i experienced when i represented the castro that seeing these young people who look different and may respond differently but they are not different. Most of them are us. And that way that we responded to them and said go back to the hate or go back to Golden Gate Park is really disgusting.

Of the specific youth count, 914 youth were identified. 134 youth, under 18, and 780 youth ages 18 to 24. Let me talk a little bit about that youth count it was conducted by youth. In addition, the youth who conducted the count they were paid 11 per hour for their time. For every completed survey, they were paid an additional 5. And our provider who conducted it with our help is applied for the survey research, and they made all of the payments to the youth. So the majority of the homeless pay youth lived outside or 80 percent were unsheltered and 14 percent were sheltered. This number increases for unaccompanied Homeless Youth undered age of 18, 93 percent live unsheltered and i think that we should note that the demographics were overwhelmingly male. And white male. In this particular count. 72 percent were male, and 41 percent of that 72 were white, and 20 percent, or 26 percent identified as lgbtq. But, what we found astonishing in this particular count was that 71 reported that th
This hearing is entitled housing america addressing challenges and serving people experiencing homelessness. I now recognize myself for three minutes. Homelessness in the United States is an unnecessary and worsening crisis. Between 2016 and 2020, homelessness increased in the richest nation of the planet by 6 percent by 580,000 people including Children Experiencing Homelessness january 2020 is significant instability by by covid19 and Homeless Service providers on the frontlines have only highend concerns about conditions facing the homeless and the at risk population. Homeless Service Providers but those communities and is without question they are heroes and the work they provide saves american lives. Cd growing backlogs for critical Housing Resources have pushed some americans into homelessness and left millions more at risk. In addition the national Housing Resources the ability of Service Providers to provide a positive outcomes for americans battling housing insecurity. In the
Percent were sheltered. This number increases for unaccompanied Homeless Youth undered age of 18, 93 percent live unsheltered and i think that we should note that the demographics were overwhelmingly male. And white male. In this particular count. 72 percent were male, and 41 percent of that 72 were white, and 20 percent, or 26 percent identified as lgbtq. But, what we found astonishing in this particular count was that 71 reported that they were unemployed. 57 percent received some type of a jail, government assistance, and 25 percent reported a history of foster care. And as devon mentioned earlier, 25 percent has not completed high school or gotten a ged. And so homelessness crosses all barriers. 18 percent were on probation, or on parole and 16 percent indicate living in San Francisco at the time that they became homeless. So i notice that some Behavior Health issues here but margo from dph will go into a little bit more information about that. But 27 percent experience chronic dep
