| dc.description.abstract | In the continuing struggle to combat youth homelessness it in necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of existing services and infrastructure. Somewhere between 1.6 and 2.8 million youth identify as homeless in the United States. 47% of homeless youth identify as LGBTQ+ in Washington DC, while only accounting for 7% of the population. Faced with a myriad of challenges, LGBTQ+ youth find themselves facing homelessness without access to services to meet their complex needs. Washington DC has a rich LGBTQ+ history and community that is connected through people and the built environment. Throughout its history and today the LGBTQ+ community has created safe spaces for its members to come and be together. Through the exploration of the adaptive reuse and addition of a historic building, this thesis seeks to create a LGBTQ+ youth resource center to aid in the development of supportive services and housing for at risk LGBTQ+ youth. | en_US |
