Trans Crisis Fund
Donation protected
Organized by Trans Youniting the Trans Crisis Fund will be used to finance Crisis Services for the Trans community in Pittsburgh PA, centering Black Indigenous Trans and Gender Non-confirming people of color.
The first 16,000 Dollars will procure a 4 Bedroom Apartment for a year. This will be used for Crisis Housing to get unhoused and housing insecure Trans Lives Off the Streets.
The rest of the fund will go directly into Trans Youniting's Life Saving/ Life Changing services. These Include:
Housing Crisis Stipends (Money given to Trans People to secure and retain housing).
Emergency Food Assistance (Stipends given to allow Trans Lives to purchase food. Also, to stock food that we directly distribute).
Safe Transportation Help (T.Y. Volunteers, Bus Cards, and Uber's/Lyfts helping Trans Lives in need. These include transport to doctors appointments, rehab, court hearings, work and out of dangerous circumstances)
Emergency Supplies and Basic Necessities (Supplies for unhoused trans people, basic necessities for Trans people who have lost their possessions, clothes for job interviews. Etc).
Operating Costs for These Services ( Operating costs may include gas for rides, supplies for our crisis beds, Etc).
This fund is crucial. The following statistics are illustrative of the Trans Cycle of Violence, but do not come close to our lived reality.
The following were found in Injustice at Every Turn: A Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey. These statistics included white trans people. The reality is significantly worse for BIPOC Trans Lives.
Employment
26% of us lose our jobs because we are trans
15% of us who are employed live 2,000-6,000 dollars below the poverty level
Housing
19% of Trans People will become homeless because of our identity
33% of Unhoused Trans People are forced into sex work
25% of us are attacked in homeless shelters
22% of us are sexually assaulted in homeless shelters
Health and Health Care
49% of us attempt suicide in response to systemic oppression (3800 Times more likely that cis people)
Black Trans Lives are 4 Times more likely to be unemployed
48% of us cannot afford health care during our lives
19% of us are refused health care
The Trans Cycle of Violence ends and ruins innumerable Trans Lives. Trans Youniting fights this cycle everyday with our services.
