How our Transgender Program has Innovated in the wake of COVID

The history of Pride is a complex and layered history, one with many starting points, but a famous origin point often cited is that of the Stonewall Uprising, which centered a Black transgender woman, Marsha P. Johnson. At Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, we have been diligent about ensuring that our high-quality care is accessible to all people, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community who are overrepresented among the population experiencing homelessness.

Black Lives Matter

Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program stands in solidarity with black and brown communities in denouncing the racism that, throughout history and into the present moment, has devalued their lives and led to the horrific killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and too many others. As a program dedicated to providing compassionate healing to the most vulnerable, and centering the dignity of human life, we speak out against this grave injustice.
