Gender Justice League SafeHouse

SafeHouse provides financial assistance, temporary housing support, and resource referrals to transgender and gender diverse communities in Seattle and along the Olympic peninsula, with priority for trans & gender diverse BIPOC. Our services also prioritize those who have experienced houselessness, and survived gender-based violence (i.e.  domestic violence,  sexual assault, and/or exploitation in the sex trade).

Due to grant restrictions, we are limited in who we can give financial and shelter support to. Please check the eligibility chart to determine if you are eligible. If you are not, please still reach out to us and we will do our best to connect you to other resources.
