Family Promise — Affirming Shelter

Housing & Shelter · Pennsylvania · 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. Case managers help navigate Section 8, public housing, and rapid-rehousing programs while you're stable in shelter. LGBTQ+ youth represent 40% of homeless youth despite being 7% of the general youth population. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
