The idea behind the 30-bed facility was conceived by Cyndi Lauper, her manager and a non-profit that provides housing and support for homeless families and seniors. It will be the first permanent housing facility in New York for homeless GLBT youth. &#8220;In New York City, a very disproportionate number (up to 40 percent) of homeless youth identify as L.G.B.T.,&#8221; Lauper said in a letter urging donors to support the project. &#8220;Even more disturbing are reports that these young people often face discrimination and at times physical assault in some of the very places they have to for help.
