Mission

I Am Human was created to empower the lives of LGBTQIA individuals. Our goal is to create a safe space for individuals who are homeless, living with HIV, and trans youth, with a focus on those who experience discrimination due to their lifestyle or gender identity. We aim to break the barriers with regard to the societal disparities in education, employment, healthcare, and housing. Our group is driven by a commitment to ensure all trans and gender non-conforming people are treated fairly and protected from violence. We don't see race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.....We see Human!!

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

There is a lack of resources in the inner cities for those who are homeless specifically trans youth. We aim to provide much needed resources to those society has left behind.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Feeding The Hungry

Believing that having food is a Human right, we provide food to those who are hungry. 1 in 9 Americans stuggle with hunger. It is our goal to help limit the amount of people that go without a meal. We service the inner cities where the population of hungry and homeless grow everyday. We focus on the trans and gnc community who are often without resources, primarily trans youth and those living with HIV.

We provide sack lunches on a regular basis, and hot meals whenever possible.

Population(s) Served
LGBTQ people
Ethnic and racial groups

Our group is driven by a commitment to ensure all trans and gender non-conforming people are treated fairly and protected from violence.

Population(s) Served

Individuals living with HIV are often left feeling alone and isolated which often leads to depression. It is our goal to create a safe space to those individuals by implementing a virtual program where they have access to support groups, telehealth services and peer interaction.

We are also implementing a program to bring awareness to the the wellness of trans masculine identified individuals. The individuals who reach out to us for support and guidance often times do not fit into the normal guidelines. Many of the clinics who provide free or discounted services cater to the MSM population. It is our goal with this project to provide funding for the trans males who cannot afford the services.

We currently provide safe sex kit to sex workers and those living on the streets. It is our goal to provide mobile HIV testing in the near future.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goal is to create a safe space for individuals who are homeless, living with HIV, and trans youth, with a focus on those who experience discrimination due to their lifestyle or gender identity. We aim to break the barriers with regard to the societal disparities in education, employment, healthcare, and housing.

We go to the streets where they are and access the needs. Once the needs are accessed we pair the individuals with the appropriate resources.

We are new but we have been backed by major funders to accomplish this goal along with creating alliances with other organizations with similiar goals

Covid 19 had a major impact on the services we were able to provide so we shifted to making sure the homeless were provided with the necessary PPE during the pandemic. We provided thousands of mask, hand sanitizer and gloves. We also made sure they were provided with meals as many shelters shut down service. 2021 we plan to get back in gear hopefully post pandemic and provide the services that are needed

Data
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
