House of Acceptance (HOA)

Transgender individuals face obstacles that can make them vulnerable to victimization. It is not uncommon for members of the trans community to face condemnation from family members and friends after they come out. Individuals have been kicked out without resources, subjected to abuse or violence, and lost financial and emotional support. Traffickers understand these vulnerabilities and seek out trans individuals to prey upon. Combine that vulnerability with the market for transgender prostitution, and you have a perfect storm for victimization and violence. In the commercial sex industry, trans people are three times more likely to be attacked than cisgender people.

Restorative Pathways has support systems for all trans people, but only trans women are invited to live at House of Acceptance at this time. Trans men should reach out to us receive individual help that can include housing, basic needs support, transportation, and more.
