A subsidiary of our Housing Program is Our Trans Home housing program, which provides housing subsidies, transitional housing, comprehensive housing case management and supportive services, and locating and securing actual housing for the most vulnerable transgender community members in San Francisco.

Our Legal Program provides legal services to both incarcerated transgender people, but also provided legal services to people who were released from incarceration but still needed legal support, and ultimately to have a legal services program for transgender people that also fostered long-term change in the legal system and provided policy and legislation solutions influenced by input from incarcerated transgender people to make systematic change.
