Episode 27: LGBTQ Youth Homelessness
This series was created to continue Mike McQuaid’s mission to end homelessness here in the Valley. McQuaid believed the problem could be solved, but he also knew it would take a community working together to achieve this goal. STN, in collaboration with the Human Services Campus and ASU’s Action Nexus, is working to shine a light on the challenges and, more importantly, the solutions.
IN THIS EPISODE
According to a recent ASU study, nearly 50% of young adults experiencing homelessness identified as LGBTQ – and the average age of their first homeless experience was at 17 years of age. We’ll be joined live in studio by Nate Rhoton, Executive Director at one-n-ten, for a look at what’s being done to help and equip our young people.
Also, Jayson Matthews and Gilbert Arvizu from the Valley Of The Sun United Way will join us in studio for a conversation on healthcare and homelessness.
