Home Host - Temporarily Halted Due To COVID-19

A  home host is a person with a big heart who is willing to offer up a  couch, a bed, or a room for a week or more to a trans person in our  community experiencing homelessness. 


While we provide peer to peer counseling, offer resources, and help  our clients get the assistance they need to get back on their feet, our  home hosts make sure they have a roof over their head during this  process.


1 in 5 transgender people (19%) in the US has faced housing discrimination. 

Many shelters often deny entry or fail to provide appropriate services  based on their gender identity, making those services dangerous or  inaccessible.


How can I help?

Home Host - Temporarily Halted Due To COVID-19

You do not need a specific skill set other than passion for our cause. TAP VA volunteers share the passion of helping homeless transgender, gender non conforming, and non binary people help themselves to get back on their feet.


You can donate any amount of time and  energy in any way that you can. 


Our wonderful volunteers help to provide transportation for our clients to appointments, provide an empathetic ear for our clients, represent us at events, and much, much more.


On average, we receive 20 requests for assistance each  month and have assisted over 250 individuals since 2015, but none of this is  possible without the compassion and generosity of all of our volunteers. ​​
