Transitional Housing

 We assist individuals facing legislative and domestic dangers by transporting them to secure environments where they can be safe from harm.

We are committed to fostering a supportive community for all LGBTQ+ individuals. Through various initiatives, collaborations, and projects we aim to provide a sense of belonging and support for those who may feel isolated or marginalized.

Our innovative transitional housing program provides a critical bridge, offering temporary housing and supportive services to help individuals find stability, build a sense of belonging, and thrive.

Coming Soon

A center dedicated to recovery from hate-related trauma and to building the life skills needed to overcome any obstacle they may face through recovery and beyond.

We offer a unique model of care, partnering with dedicated volunteer hosts to provide room and board for LGBTQ+ clients in a welcoming and affirming environment. This approach fosters a sense of community and allows individuals to build connections within their new hometown. The program is currently free for clients and typically lasts for 6 to 12 months, with eligibility based on financial need and identification as a transgender or queer individual.

Our dedicated casework team works closely with each resident to develop a personalized plan for success. We connect clients with essential services, including:

• Job training and employment assistance

• Educational opportunities
• Mental health counseling and addiction recovery support
• Community resource referrals

• Guidance in finding permanent housing solutions

Rainbow Passage is proud to empower LGBTQ+ individuals to achieve self-sufficiency and build fulfilling lives. Here are just a few examples:

A client from Florida struggling with addiction found a safe haven in Washington state through our program. We connected her with a local recovery program, and she is now employed with the state Department of Transportation, financially secure, and living authentically.

A client from Georgia who is blind came to us with the hope of finding disability benefits and eventually securing stable housing. We helped him land a rewarding career at Goodwill, where he thrives and earns a competitive salary. These are just two examples of the transformative impact our program can have.

Your generous donation will directly impact the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals seeking a safe and empowering path forward. Currently, we rely on volunteer hosts to provide room and board.  To expand our reach and provide a more consistent experience for clients, we are seeking funding to transition to a model where we directly lease or rent properties, offering clients a space of their own with the same level of  support services. This will require us to provide essential living necessities for residents.

With your help, we can raise a few hundred thousand dollars to establish and sustain this innovative housing program. Your donation will help us provide:

1. Secure and affordable housing for LGBTQ+ individuals
2. Essential living necessities for residents transitioning to independent living
3. Continued support services to empower individuals towards self-sufficiency
4. By investing in Rainbow Passage, you are investing in a brighter future for LGBTQ+ individuals seeking a safe and welcoming place to call home.
5. Together, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to live with dignity, hope, and the freedom to be themselves.
