Background: Youth experiencing housing instability are among the fastest-growing groups of individuals diagnosed with sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The unpredictable nature of the lives of youth experiencing housing instability can lead to inconsistent health care, leaving gaps about the most prominent needs for intervention. Objective and Methods: Using an internet-based survey approach, we examined factors associated with housing instability in a national sample of 2,228 sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth aged 16–24 years who were having sex with men. Findings: Behavioral risk factors for STI and reported sex work were associated with housing instability. Social support, health insurance, older age, and partner violence were associated with stable housing. Conclusions: Implications for addressing risks for STIs and housing instability in urban areas among adolescent SGM men having sex with men are discussed
