DENVER — Housekeys Action Network Denver , in partnership with Hana Fageeh, a recent graduate of the University of Colorado-Denver Masters of Public Affairs Program, shared new research on the housing barriers members of the transgender and non-binary communities face in Denver.
“They did also talk about congregate shelters that they were able to go to. They faced a lot of violence and a lot of discrimination within the shelters. And shelter staff weren't holding other members — whether they were residents or staff — accountable for these experiences of violence or discrimination. So they kind of just felt, ‘Maybe I'm safer, you know, out here by myself on the streets. I can fend for myself.
“The recommendation of creating spaces that are not just available for trans and non-binary folks, but specifically created with them in mind, you know, sort of this difference between, 'Yeah, you can come here. I'm not going to keep you from coming in the door,' and 'I made this place specifically for you. I've thought through the signage. I've thought through the intake. I've thought through the access to privacy,'” Devenport said.
