Transitioning Our Shelters: A Guide to Making Homeless Shelters Safe for Transgender People
 January 2003 | National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the National Coalition for the Homeless
"Transgender youth and adults, who identify as or express a gender that is different from
their birth sex, can experience extreme difficulties in obtaining adequate and safe shelter."
Homelessness is a crisis in the United States. With this challenge, it can be hard for shelters to figure out how to make their shelters safe for transgender people. This publication is for shelters that wish to make their shelters safe for all people by making a few minor but important policy adjustments. |

LGBT Older Adults and Long-Term Care Under Medicaid This brief focuses on Medicaid—the largest payer of long-term care in the US—and how spousal impoverishment protections and spend-down exemptions exclude LGBT couples or families of choice, often leaving the partner of the Medicaid recipient financially bereft. Note: This publication was created before the June 2013 US Supreme Court decision overturning Section 3 of DOMA, so some information contained herein may no longer be applicable.
