Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Family violence is the leading cause of homelessness among youth; however, limited research has examined family violence among 2SLGBTQ + youth experiencing homelessness. The objective of this study was to engage a group of 2SLGBTQ + youth at risk of, and experiencing, homelessness in the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding areas in Ontario, Canada, to examine their experiences of family violence before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: 2SLGBTQ + youth at risk of, and experiencing, homelessness and key informants (service providers) participated in online surveys and one-on-one interviews to assess family violence during the pandemic. Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed separately and merged for interpretation. Results: The majority of youth experienced various forms of family violence throughout their lives, which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: Our study highlights the need to identify and address family violence toward 2SLGBTQ + youth.
