Family Promise — Affirming Shelter

Housing & Shelter · Hawaii · 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. Most stays in emergency shelter are 30–90 days while you work with case management on next steps. Family rejection is the #1 cause of LGBTQ+ youth homelessness — interventions sometimes restore housing if family is willing to work with counselors. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ Hawaii residents and the people supporting them.
