HOUSING IS HIV PREVENTION. 🏠🏳️‍⚧️ Housing is more than four walls and a roof. It’s healthcare. It’s safety. It’s stability. And for transgender and gender-nonconforming people, it can be the difference between accessing lifesaving care and going without it. Globally, transgender people face disproportionately high rates of HIV. But the conversation cannot stop at HIV prevention without addressing one of the barriers to healthcare: homelessness. When someone is worried about where they’ll sleep tonight, accessing HIV testing, getting to medical appointments, staying consistent with treatment, or obtaining PrEP can become significantly more difficult. At Trans Housing Coalition, we know that housing and healthcare are deeply connected. That’s why our work goes beyond helping people find a place to live. We connect our community to long-term housing, HIV prevention and treatment services, affirming healthcare, and the supportive resources needed to thrive. You cannot separate housing justice from health justice. This is the first installment of our new HOUSING IS... series, where we’ll explore how housing intersects with public health, violence prevention, reproductive justice, climate justice, and liberation. Because housing isn’t just about having somewhere to sleep. It’s about having the opportunity to live. 💗 Support trans housing.

Trans people experiencing homelessness do not need to be judged, controlled, or treated like a problem to solve. They deserve to be heard, respected, protected, and supported. True support begins with believing trans people about what they need and recognizing that safety includes privacy, consent, dignity, and access to affirming housing. At Trans Housing Coalition, we center the choices and lived experiences of trans people because housing justice is trans justice. Swipe to learn four meaningful ways you can support trans people experiencing homelessness.

Please help us congratulate Starr on being officially housed! 🎉🏡 Originally from Detroit, Starr experienced 5 years of homelessness and faced countless obstacles along the way. Starr worked diligently with her case manager every stepped of the way and determined to get housed. “I’m so thankful to THC and Ms. Anderson. I prayed and prayed for this, stayed patient, and I still can’t believe it.” This moment is a testament to Starr’s strength, dedication, and resilience. And this is just the beginning. Join us in celebrating Starr 💛

Today is Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV), a day dedicated to celebrating the lives, contributions, and resilience of transgender and gender non-conforming people while also raising awareness of the discrimination our community continues to face. TDOV is about more than visibility. It’s about recognizing that trans people are still navigating systemic barriers to housing, healthcare, employment, and safety every single day. At Trans Housing Coalition, we see this reality up close. We work with trans individuals across Atlanta who are experiencing homelessness due to these exact barriers. Through a housing-first model, we provide direct support that moves people from survival to stability, from unsafe conditions into permanent housing. Visibility must be matched with action. If you believe trans people deserve not just to be seen, but to be supported, we invite you to invest in this work. 🔗 Donate through the link in our bio #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV #transhousing #translivesmatter🏳️‍⚧️

Today we are proud to highlight Ms. Grant, whose strength and determination remind us why this work matters, she is pictured above with her Case Manager Ricardo. Ms. Grant was housed successfully through our program after experiencing chronic homelessness since an early age. Ricardo, our Housing Support and Navigation Manager, shared this reflection about her journey: Why this story matters: Centering Ms. Grant’s story today shows exactly what your Giving Tuesday donations make possible. Every gift helps another member of our community move closer to stability, safety and a home they can call their own.

As your Executive Director, I am reaching out with deep intention ahead of Giving Tuesday tomorrow. Your support has carried so many members of our community through moments of crisis, and your generosity continues to open doors where there were none. Even the smallest gift can shift what seems like a small circumstance into a life changing moment for a trans person experiencing homelessness. If you are able, please consider making an early Giving Tuesday gift through the link in our bio. Early giving helps us respond faster and meet needs the moment they arise. With love, Mary Wilson

HOUSING IS VIOLENCE PREVENTION. 🏠🏳️‍⚧️ For transgender and gender-nonconforming people, having a safe place to call home is about more than stability. It can be a matter of survival. Too often, our community faces violence not only on the streets, but within the very systems meant to provide protection. Discrimination in shelters, harassment, unsafe placements, and the lack of affirming housing options can leave trans people with an impossible choice: remain in an unsafe environment or risk having nowhere to go. And for Black and multiracial trans people, the intersections of racism, transphobia, and housing insecurity can create even greater barriers to safety. No one should have to choose between shelter and safety. At Trans Housing Coalition, we believe housing is a fundamental part of violence prevention. Because when people have access to safe, stable, and affirming housing, they have more opportunities to live freely, build community, and thrive. This is part two of our HOUSING IS... series, exploring how housing connects to the issues impacting our communities every day. 💗 Support trans housing.

We’re honored to share that Trans Housing Coalition has received a $75,000 award from the Keith Haring Foundation. This investment allows us to continue building safety, stability, and access for trans people across our community. We know that housing is HIV prevention, and this support deepens our ability to respond to the urgent needs of our community, especially across the South where resources remain limited and disparities are high. This funding expands our work to reach more trans people with life-saving support, including housing, care, and HIV-related services and prevention. We are deeply grateful for a partnership that believes in our work and in the power of trans lives. Thank you for standing with us 🤍

Happy Holidays from the Trans Housing Coalition 🤍 This season, we are holding so much gratitude after our Transmas Christmas Party with our community. There was laughter, food, music, gifts, and most importantly joy and safety shared in the same space. Moments like this remind us why we do this work and who we do it for. For many of our community members, the holidays can be heavy. Creating space for connection, celebration, and care is part of how we build home together. Thank you to everyone who showed up, donated, volunteered, cooked, danced, and helped make this night possible. We are ending the year grounded in love, resilience, and collective care. Wishing our community warmth, rest, and joy this holiday season 💕🏠🎁 #HappyHolidays #Transmas #TransJoy #ChosenFamily #HousingIsHealthcare #TransHousingCoalition

A little glimpse into the people and community behind Trans Housing Coalition. 🩷 Behind every housing placement, every appointment, and every milestone are real people showing up for one another. Some days that looks like navigating housing systems. Other days it’s sharing a laugh, celebrating a win, or simply making sure someone knows they aren’t alone. We’re grateful for our staff, our clients, and the community that continues to make this work possible. We haven’t made a donation ask in a little while, but the need for our work hasn’t slowed down. If you’ve been looking for a way to support trans people in Atlanta, we’d love for you to invest in the work we’re doing every day. Make a donation through the link in our bio. 🏠

Pride has always been more than celebration. Pride is protest, protection, and a demand for the resources our communities deserve. Right now, trans led organizations are being asked to do life saving work with a fraction of the funding. For every $100 awarded by U.S. foundations, only 20¢ supports LGBTQ communities, and just 3.5¢ supports trans, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary communities. That is not enough. At Trans Housing Coalition, we know housing is safety. We know Black trans people deserve more than visibility. We deserve investment, stability, care, and futures where our people can live freely. This Pride Month, we are calling on our community, funders, and allies to move beyond rainbow statements and invest directly in trans led housing justice. Give boldly this Pride. Fund trans futures. #happypridemonth #happypride #transhousingcoalition #fundtransfutures #blackpridemonth

Black Philanthropy Month recognizes more than financial giving. It also celebrates Black leadership, service, advocacy, and the people building solutions for our communities. This month, we are proud to spotlight Mary Wilson, Executive Director of Trans Housing Coalition. Mary joined THC nearly five years ago as Program Director and later became Executive Director, guiding the organization through an increasingly difficult funding landscape and continued government attacks on trans people. Through it all, Mary has remained committed to advancing THC’s mission and ensuring trans and gender-nonconforming people have access to safe, stable, and affirming housing. We celebrate Mary’s leadership, resilience, and dedication to our community. #BlackPhilanthropyMonth #BlackLeadership #NonprofitLeadership #HousingJustice #TransHousingCoalition

This is how we ended Pride Month: surrounded by community, connection, resources, and trans joy. 🏳️‍⚧️ We are so grateful to the partner organizations that joined us at our Trans Joy Summer BBQ to table, share resources, and connect directly with our clients and community. This work does not happen in isolation. Housing stability is connected to healthcare, food access, legal support, employment, safety, and so much more. Our partnerships help us support the whole person. Pride Month may be over, but our commitment to showing up for trans communities continues all year long. Thank you @lost.n.found.youth, @southernlegalcenterforyouth, @erc_inc, @avitacareatl, @thap_house, @cfiatlanta and @getinvolvedemory! #TransJoy #TransHousingCoalition #CommunityPartners #HousingJustice #pridemonth

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR), we pause to mourn every Transgender and gender non-conforming life violently taken. 💔 We acknowledge the deep, systemic pain caused by hate and policy failure, especially here in the South, where the crisis of violence is tragically immediate. Swipe through this carousel to understand the lethal reality faced by our community, and the urgent need for safe housing. But while we remember those we lost, we also celebrate the powerful, beautiful resilience of those who are still here. We honor the strength of every Trans person fighting for their life, their joy, and their right to exist. You are the reason we fight. To honor their memory, we must fight for the future of the living. Join us in making safety a reality. BE THE MOVEMENT. Your support today is an investment in Trans futures, joy, and survival. #transdayofremembrance #transjoy #blacktranslivesmatter #housingfirst

What a day. 💙🏳️‍⚧️ Our Trans Joy Summer BBQ was everything we hoped it would be and more. Clients, community partners, volunteers, and supporters came together for an afternoon filled with food, laughter, music, resources, and genuine connection. Events like these remind us that joy is not separate from our work. It is part of it. For many of the people we serve, spaces where they can simply exist, celebrate, and be surrounded by community are just as important as housing, case management, and basic needs. Everyone deserves moments of joy, belonging, and care. Thank you to every volunteer who showed up, every partner who tabled, every donor who made this possible, and every client who spent the afternoon with us. You made this event a tremendous success. Here’s to building community, celebrating resilience, and creating more moments of trans joy all year long. See yall next year 💙🏳️‍⚧️💛 #TransJoy #CommunityCare #HousingFirst #TransHousingCoalition #Atlanta
