- LGBTQ youth make up about 30.4% of the foster care population, compared to 11.2% of youth not in foster care.
- Approximately 5% of foster youth identify as transgender, compared to 1.17% of youth not in foster care.
- LGBTQ youth in unstable housing report poorer school functioning, more substance use, and poorer mental health compared to their peers.
- By wearing this shirt, you are helping to raise awareness about these critical issues and supporting MARE's mission to find loving, permanent homes for LGBTQ youth in foster care.
