Talking to trans folks everyday is the coolest. (The illest, best, sickest, sweetest, neatest, meanest most gnarly and seriously awesome thing ever. Trans people are so cool.) We support folks through whatever they’re going through. We know nothing was built with trans folks in mind so we help make that light at the end of the tunnel brighter, quicker. Wherever you’re headed we show up with a lot of hope, ready to hold all the baggage so you can focus on being you. Trans folks deserve stability, rest and joy. For us that looks like: ✨ Peer support from trans humans 🧠 Wellness planning designed to give you spoons, not take ‘em 🏥 Health navigation that’s collaborative and all about YOU 🧳 Relocation assistance for folks seeking safety We’re building community-rooted systems of care that help trans people move from surviving to thriving.

I’m gonna tell you about RINNA tho (fake name) - RINNA is black and trans and was getting evicted a couple months ago. 1) Referred her to @clearclinicpdx drop in noon on Fridays for assistance > picked her up after and they’d got her rental assistance for a month. 2) Took her to worksource Oregon that same day - she got on the STEP program. 3) She enrolled to PCC later that week. She got FAFSA setup. 4) We navigated potential roomies and house shares - but ultimately she signed her own lease with College Housing Northwest. (CHNW aims to be 15-20% below market rates and has no income requirements, no rental history requirement, no late rent till the 9th) 5) Moving her in right now. She starts school in a couple weeks. She’s all smiles y’all. From facing eviction to facing a future - I’m honored to get to witness this kinda stuff. Every week! Every month! All year long! Trans people are awesome! Trans people belong everywhere. Trans people deserve the world. #WERQTOGETHER #beyondthecistem

Hospitals and programs don’t always come with an exit plan attached. But Multnomah Co’s HSD has a hotline for exactly that kinda moment. You can call and get options if you’re losing housing within 14 days. If you were unhoused before you went into the program and you’ve been there fewer than 90 days, you’re still eligible for rapid rehousing and additional supports.
