NATIONWIDE HOMELESS BLACK TRANS WOMEN FUND

HOMELESS BLACK TRANS WOMEN FUND

Building safe homes & communities for Black Homeless Trans Women; while providing housing

and 24 / 7 emergency financial assistance to those Trans folks in urgent need. 

Each year, for the last five years, the number of transgender people in the U.S. who were murdered has increased, according to findings by the Human Rights Campaign. In 2019, the vast majority of those killed were Black trans women. As these women continue to be barred from housing and job opportunities, many wind up homeless and resort to survival sex work to obtain food, shelter, and other basic necessities.

As we continue the fight against Homelessness among Black Trans Women, especially during Pride Month, you must keep this persistently underserved group in full view. In addition to educating yourself and your communities to understand their systemic oppression, donating to the Homeless Black Trans women fund is also a veritable step in helping them to survive and thrive.

Right now, we're looking to acquire apartments in safe communities that will house Homeless Black Trans Women. It's our hope to expand this Housing Model to other cities in the United States.

So we need your support.
