Reading now: 900
The House of Tulip (Trans United Leading Intersectional Progress) trust in the US, which aims to alleviate the issue of trans homelessness and provide long-term solutions, is currently in the process of fundraising to buy a property in New Orleans, Louisiana, which will become a safe house for transgender and gender non-conforming people.
This shelter will be the first of its kind in the US, and so far nearly $300,000 has been raised on the journey to meeting the $400,000 target.A recent release from the Department of Housing & Urban Planning in the US proved to be a major setback for homeless trans people, as the Trump Administration has altered legislation to allow housing shelters to ignore trans people’s gender identity, and even deny.
