Pittsburgh, PA – Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto and Proud Haven, a local nonprofit organization, have proclaimed Wednesday, April 27, 2016 "40 to None Day" in the City of Pittsburgh, with the goal of bringing the percentage of homeless youth who identify as LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer) from 40% to none. Studies have repeatedly shown that up to 40 percent of the approximate 1.6 million youth experiencing homelessness each year in the United States identify as LGBTQ+, yet they make up only 5-7 percent of the general youth population.
