1 in 3 Black trans women are experiencing homelessness in 2026. This is not a projection — it is happening right now.
Anti-trans policies are accelerating job loss, housing denial, and economic exclusion. When identification bans, bathroom bans, and legal attacks expand, employers pull back, landlords hesitate, and instability spreads fast.
For Black trans women, that instability turns into eviction, unsafe couch-surfing, shelters that are not safe, or nights outside.
Housing is survival.
Why housing is an emergency for Black trans women — and why the crisis is ongoing:
• 68% are living in poverty.
•
52% have experienced homelessness.
•
52% experienced homelessness in the past year because
they are transgender.
• 80% faced housing
discrimination or instability in the past 12 months.
This is structural. It is economic. It is immediate.
This campaign funds direct, urgent survival support:
• Emergency hotel nights and rent stabilization
• Transportation
to safety, work, court, or medical care
• Food and essential
supplies
• Phone access and documentation replacement
•
Rapid relocation when safety is compromised
When housing collapses, the next 24–72 hours determine everything. This fund exists to intervene in that window.
Thank you for helping keep Black trans women housed, protected, and alive.
