Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
TRANS LIFELINE IS A NATIONAL TRANS-LED 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF TRANS LIVES BY RESPONDING TO THE CRITICAL NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY WITH DIRECT SERVICE, MATERIAL SUPPORT, ADVOCACY, AND EDUCATION. OUR VISION IS TO FIGHT THE EPIDEMIC OF TRANS SUICIDE AND IMPROVE OVERALL LIFE-OUTCOMES OF TRANS PEOPLE BY FACILITATING JUSTICE-ORIENTED, COLLECTIVE COMMUNITY AID.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
IN 2023, TRANS LIFELINES HOTLINE PROGRAM ANSWERED A TOTAL OF 8,947 CALLS IN TOTAL, WITH THE TOP FIVE CALLER CONCERNS BEING MENTAL HEALTH, DISABILITY, FINANCIAL ISSUES, HOUSING INSTABILITY, AND A LACK OF ACCESS TO GENDER-AFFIRMING TREATMENT. ADDITIONALLY, AS PART OF THE PROCESS OF UNION RECOGNITION AND BARGAINING, THE HOTLINE DEVELOPED ITS FIRST-EVER SET SCHEDULE AND SET OPERATING HOURS, WHICH WERE SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED AT THE BEGINNING OF 2024. ON A LESS CELEBRATORY NOTE, A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN FUNDING NECESSITATED THE SHRINKING OF THE ORG ACROSS ALL DEPTS, BUT DESPITE THIS SETBACK, THE NUMBER OF CALLS ANSWERED IN 2023 WAS ROUGHLY THE SAME AS THE NUMBER OF CALLS ANSWERED IN 2022. THAT BEING SAID, THE WORK THAT WAS DONE TO BOLSTER THE HOTLINE IN 2023 WILL RESULT IN THE ORG BEING ABLE TO SERVE SUBSTANTIALLY MORE PEERS, MOVING FORWARD, THAN ANY PREVIOUS YEAR TO DATE.
IN 2023, TRANS LIFELINE'S MICROGRANTS PROGRAM DISTRIBUTED $369,797 IN SMALL GRANTS TO 403 INDIVIDUALS AND $60,000 IN GRANTS TO 2 SMALL DIRECT-SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS FOR UPDATED LEGAL IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS, LEGAL NAME AND GENDER CHANGES, GENDER AFFIRMING HAIR REMOVAL ACCESS, AND POST-RELEASE AND COMMISSARY SUPPORT. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO FUNDING SHORTFALLS, TRANS LIFELINE HAD TO PAUSE THIS PROGRAM HALFWAY THROUGH 2023. DESPITE THIS, OUR MICROGRANTS PROGRAM WAS STILL ABLE TO DISTRIBUTE ROUGHLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY IN JUST HALF THE TIME, PROVING THE WORTH OF OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS MADE IN 2022.
IN 2023 TRANS LIFELINES ADVOCACY PROGRAM DISTRIBUTED MATERIALS FOR OUR #SAFEHOTLINES CAMPAIGN AND PUBLISHED THE SAFE HOTLINES PROJECT NEWSLETTER TO OVER 2.5K SUBSCRIBERS. ADDITIONALLY, OUR ADVOCACY PROGRAM ALSO SURVEYED OVER 250 HELP-SEEKERS AND INTERVIEWED OVER 20 SURVIVORS OF NON-CONSENSUAL INTERVENTION AS PART OF OUR STUDY IN COLLABORATION WITH AMERICAN UNIVERSITY. THE DATA AND FINDINGS FROM THIS STUDY WERE DISSEMINATED BY OUR RESEARCH TEAM AS PART OF OUR REPORT, TO BE RELEASED IN 2024, ON THE IMPACTS OF NON-CONSENSUAL INTERVENTIONS ON CRISIS HOTLINE CALLERS.
