The Transgender Health and Wellness Center is diligent in its efforts to ensure that Southern California’s TGI people not only have a safe place to live, but that those in need can find furniture and other important items for their new homes. In July 2010, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development clarified that the Fair Housing Act’s (FHA) prohibition against “gender discrimination” included protections for Transgender people. Consequently, there is federal law that prohibits discrimination in federally-funded housing and properties, as well as federal housing loans and accommodations. This significant civil protection ensures the Transgender community has the necessary tools and stability to live a good life.
