ATX Trans Eviction Prevention Fund

STOP THE EVICTIONS!

One time rental assistance for trans & gender nonconforming folks living in Austin TX who are facing eviction. Landlord does not need to have already filed, (hopefully we can prevent that), but proof of threat needs to be made available when applying.

As always, Black & Indigenous FSSWers to the front.

APPLICATION WILL BE AVAILABLE ONCE FUND HITS $10k

 

According to the Eviction Lab, in the Austin area there have been 13,161 eviction filings in the last year, 43% more than average. In the past MONTH there have been 1,248 eviction filings which is a whopping 78% more than average. 

 

Despite the data not being collected, due to what we know about housing discrimination and homelessness rates amongst the trans community, we are sure that a disproportionate number of evictions have been filed against trans Austinites, especially Black and Indigenous people, with a particular concern for FSSWers given the current political climate. 

 

Because of this, we want to do as much as we can to help the most vulnerable communities stay housed. Housing is a right all people deserve, and this fund helps us support that belief.
