Family Promise — Affirming Shelter

Housing & Shelter · Ohio · Free

Network of family shelter programs across the US, many LGBTQ+ welcoming. A starting point for case management, emergency vouchers, and longer-term placement. Most stays in emergency shelter are 30–90 days while you work with case management on next steps. Trans women of color face the highest rates of housing discrimination and violence — affirming providers know how to navigate the system carefully. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
