Still Homeless
7 years ago
Wanted to update everyone that me and my two roommates/family are still homeless.
Before I start I wanted to thank everyone whose shared the gofund me and other posts and I wanted to thank folks who've donated. You guys have helped us survive so far and I really appreciate it.
If anyone has any resources for LGBTQ homeless trans folks please let me know. All three of us are Trans NB. We're in Oregon and are mega fine moving to Washington. The system is pretty much working against us due to well the above and we're low income and poor. Only one of us is able to drive.
I'm Trans, Wheelchair-bound, on permanent disability and there are three of us. Both my roomies are trans and disabled. One of us has a job though.
I'm tired of being denied housing because our credit isn't good enough, we can't get a co-signer, etc. Plus it's expensive to keep putting in applications only to be denied when we already barely have any money, to begin with.
We've been staying at hotels but after the 12th we'll be living in our van as we can no longer afford shelter. A Homeless shelter is not ideal for us nor is it really safe. We would not do well there and neither would our mental state as all three of us have PTSD and we can't be separated. On top of that, we just don't feel safe being in one.
We've not been able to do much due to low mental health and not being able to afford the gas as we've had to keep moving from hotel to hotel. We do plan to go to section 8 when we can but we're never able to make it in time ase they close rather early. Plus most of the time we're sick thanks to the weather.
There's three of us and we're not looking to add another person unless I super know ya and trust ya.
We appreciate any help and information for resources for housing, rental assistance, food banks, etc are ideal.
We can not afford a trailer or a camper to live in. We just really need a stable place to live/rent etc. We can't even afford to buy a tent to help us.
We still fully plan to go to Section 8 when we can but currently, we haven't been able to find time to do so and the weather has not permitted us to move much as our car's windshield wipers are broken and we can not afford to get our van repaired. The van does not have working heat or air conditioning either.
Currently, we are listing things on Etsy and eBay for sale if anyone is interested.
I still have my Gofund Me up as well and I take donations via PayPal too if you send it under friends and family.

I'll def like pass this info on to my two roommates though as it's def helpful. I showed
i'm hoping i'm able to make it to furlandia again this year.
I remember hearing about Rainfurrest shutting down so that makes sense. I do hope Furlandia does get a bigger con space at some point as they're going to need it if they get any bigger. I hope to make it my yearly con as well ! Do you know any other fun local furry cons in that area ?
I do hope that if it does another big venue can step in and take the plate if need too. I am glad it's gotten notice. I don't know of any other fur cons but we have kumoricon (I can't remeber) it's an anime convention and I heard it's good along with sakuracon. They have campfire tails but I heard that fills up fast since they have a limit.
