@Ro_Bernad
And now….LET’S ADDRESS THIS ( ) !!
I have some questions!
• Which data do we need about LGBTIQ people experiencing homelessness
and their specifics needs?
• Would taking care about LGTBIQ youth homelessness be a relevant
homelessness prevention measure?
• Do the needs of homeless LGBTIQ differ? Are we responding effectively?
• Should we create specific services for the LGBTIQ homeless or would these
be even more stigmatizing? Or should we provide training to our organizations’
workers?
• How can we use data to design efficient support to LGTBIQ youth/homeless?
• Are we collaborating enough (or at all) with LGTBIQ organizations?
• What can FEANTSA & member organizations do to address the issue?
• Is there life in Mars?
