2007The Trans Programme at The 519 Community Centre has been offering training and policy development to the shelter system resulting in significant progress in safe shelter for trans women (male to female) since 2001. This project undertakes an innovative inquiry into the shelter needs of members of the homeless Female-to-Male (FTM) trans community in Toronto. Through interviews with homeless FTM’s and shelter staff, and partnerships with key stakeholders from relevant sectors, this innovative inquiry will focus a lens on the unique barriers that FTMs experience and engage key stakeholders in development of a cross-sector response to this considerable gap.
