Semi- structured qualitative interviews with 23 guests self- identified as belonging to racially and ethnically marginalized groups and focus groups with 35 LTS staff revealed barriers to housing stability rooted in structural racism, such as stigma, discrimination, and criminal- legal system involvement.

However, challenges in transitioning to permanent housing persisted, including difficulties obtaining identification and inadequate long- term support.
