Equal Access to Shelter Training

March 23, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Transgender individuals are significantly more likely to experience homelessness at some point in their life than the general population. Many do not enter the shelter, but the majority of those who have stayed in a homeless shelter have reported some form of mistreatment, including harassment and refusal of service, due to their gender identity. This must stop! CT Coalition to End Homelessness has partnered with CT Department of Housing, CT Fair Housing Center, Greater Hartford Legal Aid, and GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) to provide you with an ‘Equal Access to Shelter’ training. During this training we will provide you with information and insight about transgender individuals, review the different types of laws that protect transgender individuals from discrimination, thoroughly discuss best practices and our commitment to ensure equal access for transgender and gender nonconforming individuals. We hope you join us for this informative as well as engaging training.
