Help us raise funds for House of Tulip

This GiveOutDay, we're raising funds to contribute to House of Tulip, a brand new community land trust in New Orleans formed to provide housing solutions to transgender and gender nonconforming people experiencing homelessness.

At Louisiana Trans Advocates, we know that access to housing can be life or death, and 1 in 3 trans people in our state report experiencing homelessness at some point in their lifetime. 

House of Tulip is purchasing and remodeling a 6-unit property in New Orleans to house up to 9 trans people experiencing homelessness. By operating as a land trust, the entire city of New Orleans (as well as anywhere we expand beyond our pilot campus) will benefit from the increase in affordable housing supply and safeguards against exclusionary development and gentrification.

House of Tulip isn’t an emergency shelter or a transitional living house. It’s a long-term investment in housing solutions. The path from homelessness to homeownership is long and hard, but House of Tulip will be there every step of the way for TGNC Louisianans. Meanwhile, House of Tulip will continue to own the land, ensuring their housing stays affordable forever.

Donate today to create a better future for trans Louisianans tomorrow.
