November is National Homeless Youth Awareness month, a time to recognize what some experts call an “invisible problem” in Chicago, where 12,000 young adults find themselves without stable housing on any given night, according to the Chicago Coalition to End Homelessness.

Among that group, however, housing advocates say there’s an acute problem faced by the LGBTQ+ community.
