LGBT Populations: A Snapshot of the Knowledge Base and Research Needs

These Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation briefs were developed as part of a larger Needs Based Assessment that sought to discover information about low-income and at-risk lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations and their interactions with human services, especially those funded by ACF. The briefs also identify important areas for continued research. The three topic areas discussed are low-income/at-risk LGBT populations, the child welfare system and LGBT populations, and LGBT youth, particularly, runaway and homeless.
