Homelessness is the most extreme form of poverty and a manifestation of major economic inequality. Article 25.1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to an adequate standard of living, including housing. In 2020, the European Parliament called on all EU member States to end homelessness in the Union by 2030. This paper argues that in order to end homelessness effectively it is vital to look at risk factors and needs in relation to homelessness from an intersectional perspective. LGBTIs experience homelessness and socioeconomic risk factors for it in a different way than heterosexual cisgender men. Homelessness includes a whole set of additional risks for groups that are socially marked as „weak”, including a higher risk of being victim of specific forms of violence, e.g. sexual abuse. Therefore, it should be a priority in national strategies to provide safe spaces for LGBTIs experiencing homelessness and to take measures that help prevent homelessness and take into account the specific risk factors of LGBTIs.
