NEW RESEARCH


** Nearly one-third of Asian LGBT immigrants in California live in poverty
------------------------------------------------------------
Our new study finds that while most Asian LGBT non-citizens in California are in the workforce, almost a third (31%) of them live at less than 200% of the federal poverty level. Half of those with low incomes are food insecure, though just 18% are enrolled in the CalFresh food stamp benefits program.

** 14 million adults in the US identify as LGBT
------------------------------------------------------------
Using data from the 2020 and 2021 Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS), researchers at the Williams Institute estimate that 5.6% of adults in the United States—14.1 million people—identify as LGBT. Washington, DC has the highest percentage of LGBT adults in the country (14.3%), and California has the greatest number of LGBT citizens (1.5 million).
