Family Promise — Affirming Shelter

Housing & Shelter · Colorado · 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. Some programs hold trans-specific beds and units; ask intake about identity-affirming room assignment. Domestic violence shelters increasingly accept LGBTQ+ survivors, including trans women — ask before assuming you're not welcome. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
