"Wrecking Ball" singer Miley Cyrus has launched the Happy Hippie Foundation, a program dedicated to helping homeless youth.

"I'm the one that can fix it," Cyrus told ABC of the spiraling problem of homeless youth. "I think I've been able to identify with it just because I've never thought of myself as, 'I'm a girl and so I can't do this, or I can do this, or you've got to be a boy to do that.' I feel completely like I'm not tied to a gender or to an age. I feel like an infinite cosmic thing, and that's what I want people to feel."

In 2014, Cyrus took Jesse Helt, a then homeless man, as her date to the MTV Video Music Awards and since then has been an active spokesperson on that issue and LGBT equality.

Initially, Cyrus' initiative focused on youth in LA and San Francisco but in recent months has spread to include other parts of the country. Cyrus added many of the people they ultimately come to help are from the LGBT community "because of the lack of acceptance and alienating people in society."

In recent times, Cyrus said she has become a fan of Bruce Jenner and considers his expressed desire to use his public platform to serve as a LGBT advocate "really cool."

"It's brave," she said. "And if it converts people, if people are watching, maybe they do feel some sort of compassion. I don't know how people's brains work. I hope it does. I don't know how you could look into Bruce's eyes and see anything else but the truth. And I think this is probably a huge sense of relief, in a way. No one should have to live a lie."

Cyrus hinted her new found mission will also serve as motivation for new music she is now working on. She recently spent the day recording with friends Joan Jett and Ariana Grande at her home.

"It was the best day pretty much ever," she said. "Bring it back to something that matters. I don't really want to sing just for myself. I want to be doing something for the world."
