A new short documentary by In the Life Media highlights the critical issue of LGBT teen homelessness in New York.

Called “A Day in Our Shoes” the documentary aims to raise awareness of the fact that there are an estimated 3,800 homeless youth in New York City alone and of them about 1,500 identify as LGBT. As previously highlighted at Care2, budget cuts of around 50% have put in jeopardy the vital facilities homeless shelters provide in the state.
