About Trans Relocation Support Western Mass
Trans Relocation Support is a local group working with the national network Pink Haven Coalition to support trans and nonbinary folx moving to Western Massachusetts in response to an increasingly hostile environment. TRS is a collaboration of queer and trans organizers, local faith groups, families of trans kids, and allies working to identify and marshal resources, develop a fundraising and volunteer network, and provide temporary housing, mutual aid, and welcoming community.
There is a growing list of people waiting for support to get to safety. Do you have resources or skills to share? Please consider donating and volunteering by using our Contact form.
We seek volunteers who have a variety of skills, temporary housing space, or community ties to facilitate a welcoming landing for folks while getting their needs met. We are specifically seeking volunteers to help new folx with getting to know the area, finding housing, jobs, and medical or social services, and generally offering support. We are also looking for people who can provide temporary housing, and will need to undertake a vetting process.
Are you a transgender adult, or the family of a transgender youth, in need of assistance with relocating to Western Massachusetts? Our area of Massachusetts, which is part of New England in the Northeast coast of America, includes a variety of queer and trans friendly small towns with a vibrant community of universities, faith organizations, LGBTQIA+ families, social groups and resources. We’re here to help you. Please let us know what you need by reaching out. One of our volunteers will follow up with you.
