Family Promise — Affirming Shelter

Housing & Shelter · New Mexico · Free

Network of family shelter programs across the US, many LGBTQ+ welcoming. Useful for trans women of color facing the highest rates of housing instability and violence in shelters. Most LGBTQ+ shelters accept walk-ins for intake; bring ID and any medications. Family rejection is the #1 cause of LGBTQ+ youth homelessness — interventions sometimes restore housing if family is willing to work with counselors. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
