Abstract
Although the number of youth in foster care who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning (GLBTQ) is not known, these youth have a range of unique placement and services needs that are often not well addressed. In a qualitative study conducted by Children's Rights and partnering legal organizations in New York City, the experiences of youth in congregate care settings (group and residential treatment centers) were examined, including the experiences of GLBTQ youth. Three key areas emerged as of concern for GLBTQ youth: the appropriateness of congregate care placements for them, the extent to which their service needs were being met, and the safety of GLBTQ youth in congregate care settings.
