The Campaign for Southern Equality is expanding its Trans Youth Emergency Project to a national scope, increasing the footprint from the 15 states currently served to all 25 states with a ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
Since launching the project in March 2023, CSE has distributed more than $500,000 in direct emergency grants to more than 1,000 families and individuals, in close partnership with state organizations in every state with a ban.
The Trans Youth Emergency Project is the only project of its scale and scope supporting families of transgender youth impacted by bans on gender-affirming care.
The project provides 1-on-1 custom patient navigation services and supports families of transgender youth with emergency grants of $500, renewable every six months, to help them travel out of state for care.
