Boulder is a lovely city with a lot of good things to offer its people and the rest of the country. Boulder is also not immune from the same problems that affect the rest of the country, including homelessness. The Carriage House is one of the organizations that works to address this problem locally and does a fabulous job.
The queer community has added opportunities for homelessness. It is estimated that over 60% of homeless teens are queer, having been kicked out after they came out (or were forced out) to their families. Transgender people often lose their jobs, families, and social support when they come out about their true gender. And there are still plenty of places in even Colorado where being Lesbian, Gay or Bisexual will lose you employment.
