and unfortunately, roughly 90 percent in this population remains unsheltered and half of this population are reported to be homeless longer than one year, and one in four in foster care before coming homeless. 28 percent cited job loss, 21 percent, argument with a family or a friend who asked them to leave, but you see a disproportion ate youth that are experiencing domestic vie excellence and for the safety and well-being for their homelessness. and 21 who identify as lgbtq, and forced out of the home due to family rejection or ran away due to family rejection and the youth experience the greater rates of victimization and abuse. and that is one of the reasons that we called these two hearings together and because there is an overlap among these two populations that we cannot ignore from the statistics and i look forward to hear from the representatives on these issues and in particular for the lgbtq issues for the first time on the homeless count, the survey response were asked to identify their sexual orientation and as the statistics will show you, 1 in 4 identified as lgbtq or other

so the majority of the homeless pay youth lived outside or 80 percent were unsheltered and 14 percent were sheltered. this number increases for unaccompanied homeless youth undered age of 18, 93 percent live unsheltered and i think that we should note that the demographics were overwhelmingly male. and white male. in this particular count. 72 percent were male, and 41 percent of that 72 were white, and 20 percent, or 26 percent identified as lgbtq. but, what we found astonishing in this particular count was that 71 reported that they were unemployed. 57 percent received some type of a jail, government assistance, and 25 percent reported a history of foster care. and as devon mentioned earlier, 25 percent has not completed high school or gotten a ged. and so homelessness crosses all barriers. 18 percent were on probation, or on parole and 16 percent indicate living in san francisco at the time that they became homeless. so i notice that some behavior health issues here but margo from dph will go into a little bit more information about that. but 27 percent experience chronic depression
