This we honor and grieve those who lost their lives to anti-trans violence. 320 trans people have been taken from us within this last year, with 94% of them being trans women. Trans people of color are also among the most affected. Let's stand together, speak out against discrimination, and strive for a world where everyone is celebrated for who they are.

Nationally, more than 20,000 youth age out of foster care every year. Due to a lack of support during their time in care, many system-involved young people don't have a job, savings or anyone they can turn to. According to a survey by the National Alliance to End Homelessness, between 40% and 50% of youth face homelessness within the first 18 months after leaving the foster care system.

It is more important today than ever that our communities create safe sanctuaries for youth experiencing homelessness to live and heal. Join us in the fight to end the cycle. Click here learn how: bit.ly/3VSMf6D.

According to the National Center for Transgender Equality, one in five transgender individuals have experienced homelessness at some point in their lives. Discrimination, lack of family support, economic disparities, housing discrimination, safety concerns, and limited access to transgender-specific services play a large part of why that is.

How has the Hate Crime Law been used to protect the gay community? President Obama signed the Matthew Shephard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crime Prevention Act into law in 2009. But the effort to pass this landmark legislation started much earlier.

According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, on any given night, nearly 600,000 people in the United States sleep in shelters and places not meant for human habitation, such as cars, parks and abandoned buildings. For the first time since data collection reported by HUD began, more individuals experiencing homelessness are unsheltered than sheltered.

25 years ago today, 21-year-old Matthew Shepard died in one of the most horrific hate crimes against a LGBTQ+ person in the US.

His death changed the conversation about gay rights. Matthew's legacy, the work in his name and the fight for equality still goes on despite increasing obstacles.

25 years after Matthew Shepard's death, LGBTQ+ activists say equal-rights progress is at risk

The process of healing is one that can feel like a never-ending pendulum between pain and acceptance. Healing will break us down, and lift us up-over and over and over again. The work of healing is not linear. It's a journey with unexpected twists and turns that can be scary, difficult and messy. During this work, we will experience the slings and arrows that life throws at us. But we always have the power to come back to center and ground ourselves Take hurdles as they come, find and lean on a support system and keep going. We are here to help. sherlockshomes.org.

LGBTQ youth are overrepresented among young people experiencing homelessness and housing instability in the United States.
