With limited resources and non-traditional jobs due to the many barriers we face, many are part of the gig economy, our community historically is hit first and the hardest with a longer recovery time, when disaster strikes. 

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen the continued struggles to meet our community's basic needs. Trans(forming) is raising funds to support those directly impacted by this ongoing pandemic. We have raised funding and supported over 20 individuals and their families by providing direct funding for rental assistance, food, utilities, transportation, and COVID-19 supplies.

 Trans men, intersex, gender non-conforming people of color, assigned female at birth (including those who ID as male/ man) and those who are questioning are often targeted by law enforcement.

We have made contact with our local prisons and are connecting with as many trans men, intersex, gender non-conforming , assigned female at birth (including those who ID as male/ man) and those who are questioning .

Through our anti-violence project we address trans-phobia, and raise awareness around inter-personal violence within the trans community. We have made a concentrated effort of addressing the increasing violence, often fatal, against trans and gender non-confirming individuals by expanding our peer support groups, providing resources, and

providing safety plans and tips that we have found to be effective for Trans, Intersex, and Gender non-confirming individuals.

Metro Atlanta Lesbian and Trans Housing Alliance is based in the Metro Atlanta area. It is a multi-racial, multi-generational, sexual and gender minority alliance, working to build housing equity. Lesbian and Trans-led, we are committed to advocating for the unique needs of our constituents, which overlap greatly. We coalesce to galvanize into action, maximize our resources and exercise our power knowing that lesbian and Trans people are disproportionately represented among those experiencing housing-insecurity and homelessness. We are often not considered in other housing programs.
