Pride and Place: A Peer-Led Research Report on LGBTQ+ Housing Rights
Created: 20/07/2026News/Events Category: Health and Social Care
Pride and Places, a group of LGBTQ+ young people aged 16-25, worked in partnership with Rock Trust and LGBT Youth Scotland to produce a peer-led research report on housing rights. The report was funded through the Independent Human Rights Fund for Scotland.
The report examines awareness of LGBTQ+ young people’s housing rights in Scotland, what their experiences of housing and homelessness services have been, and what needs to change. It is based on a consultation survey completed by 100 LGBTQ+ young people across 69% of Scotland’s local authorities.
The research was designed, delivered and analysed by young people with lived experience. Its findings offer a direct and honest account of how the housing and homelessness system is working. And where it is failing.
What the report covers
The report explores LGBTQ+ young people’s knowledge of, and experiences within, Scotland’s housing and homelessness system, with a focus on:
- Awareness of housing rights, including rights at risk of homelessness, during a homeless application, and while living in temporary accommodation.
- Experiences of housing and homelessness services, including discrimination, misinformation and inadequate support.
- The role of independent advocacy in helping young people understand and access their rights.
- Barriers to accessing support, including poor promotion of services and a lack of understanding of LGBTQ+ young people’s specific needs.
- What young people want to change, from increased investment in housing to more transparent, accountable and person-centred services.
