I am part of a group of academics interested in helping local authorities provide proactive, safe, and inclusive support / services for LGBTQ+ people in situations of homelessness.

1. Do you collect data on LGBTQ+ identity from applicants for homelessness services?
The only data collected in relation to this is information required for HCLIC, we asked about sexual orientation and if an applicant’s gender is the same as the sex they were registered at birth

2. Please can you share a copy of your intake/point of entry form and the questions it asks of applicants when they present as homeless (.pdf / word doc format if possible).
Screenshots of our Triage form have been provided (we do not have paper copies of this form as we use an online homelessness case management system for all of our referrals and cases)

3. Is any specific guidance given to staff around the collection of LGBTQ+ identity data during homelessness application? Please can you share a copy of this guidance or provide a summary?
N/A

4. Do any specific policies exist on the collection of LGBTQ+ identity data during homelessness applications? Please can you share a copy of these policies or provide a summary?
N/A
