>(New York City) A new study says there are at least 3,800 people under the age of 25 living on the streets of New York and that almost 30 percent are gay, lesbian or bisexual.
>The study, by the Empire State Coalition of Youth and Family Services, has been turned over to City Council, which paid for it.
>Nearly half of all homeless young people were Black, about 25 percent were Latino the study said. Those numbers would be proportionate to Black and Latino populations in New York.
>But the high number of gays on the streets is about three times the estimated percentage of New York’s LGBT community.
