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.
