Housing & Shelter · Mississippi · Free

Research on LGBTQ+ housing, employment, and social needs. Relevant for couples and chosen families needing housing where they won't be separated or harassed. Most LGBTQ+ shelters accept walk-ins for intake; bring ID and any medications. Section 8 vouchers can be ported across cities — useful for fleeing hostile environments while keeping subsidy. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
