Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to several negative economic and housing impacts, including increasing unemployment and rates of homelessness. LGBTQ+ individuals in the United States may experience even greater impacts due to existing disparities. Using data from the American Men’s Internet Survey, this thesis investigates homelessness and unstable housing among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States, comparing pre-pandemic years (2018-2019) to pandemic years (2020-2021) via a Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) trends analysis and Estimated Annual Percent Change (EAPC) calculations. Overall, the findings of this study suggest that MSM experienced an increase in homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic. After stratifying by race, age, and education levels, in both pre-pandemic years and pandemic years, Black MSM, young adults, and participants with less than a high school education experienced the highest levels of homelessness and unstable housing. To address these disparities, policies centered around housing as healthcare must be implemented.
