WPN Webinar: Using Real-Time Data to House QTBIPOC Youth and Young Adults

Young people of color and young people who identify as LGBTQ+ are disproportionately served by systems. In this webinar, we will look at using data to end disproportionality and the importance of breaking down barriers between systems to achieve quality data and equitably end homelessness.

Presenter:
Leeze Castro (he/they) – Data & Evaluation Fellow (A Way Home Washington)

Leeze Castro (he/they), 23, is passionate about ending youth homelessness, focusing on the unique challenges faced by BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ individuals. Leeze brings over 5 years of experience from systems-level change work as a young person with lived experience. Having started with the King County YAB (Youth Action Board) while it was facilitated by the Northwest Network, the Mockingbird Society, and eventually itself, Leeze now sits on the KCRHA’s (King County Regional Homelessness Authority) Continuum of Care Board. After double-majoring in mathematics and sociology, Leeze now joins those two passions as the Data and Evaluations Fellow for A Way Home Washington, a non-profit focused on ending youth and young adult homelessness throughout Washington State. There, Leeze makes use of data-driven strategies to tackle the organization’s mission, and to take an immediate and direct approach in addressing the ultimate goal of bringing an end to systemic inequity.
