The Power of Data. Addressing LGBTI Homelessness in Europe

New cross-country findings show how systemic stigma and economic vulnerability push LGBTI people into hidden homelessness and long-term instability. A new report published today by Europe’s leading LGBTI organisation, ILGA-Europe, brings together research from Italy, Spain, Germany, and Slovenia, offering telling insights into hidden homelessness for LGBTI people, the economic impact of homelessness, and the cost of stigma. “The Power of Data: Addressing LGBTI Homelessness in Europe” presents findings from research conducted between July 2023 and July 2024 by five LGBTI organisations: QUORE (Italy), the Black Sex Worker Collective (Germany), Ljubljana Pride (Slovenia), and the joint work of Ahora Donde and ACATHI (Spain). These organisations, supported and funded by ILGA-Europe in the framework of funding from the European Commission, combined quantitative analysis, interviews, and local expertise to document the prevalence, causes, and consequences of LGBTI homelessness across four European contexts. “The findings reaffirm what LGBTI communities have long known: homelessness is not just a housing problem, it is driven by systemic compounded barriers that push people out of safety, stability and support ,” said Anastasia Smirnova, Programmes Director at ILGA-Europe. “LGBTI individuals face unique risks, including family rejection, discrimination, and institutional neglect. Addressing LGBTI homelessness means confronting intersecting forms of systemic discrimination, oppression, social exclusion, and violations of fundamental rights that affect not only housing security but also access to fair treatment, safety, and community belonging.” Read more at https://www.ilga-europe.org/press-rel...
