Our History
At Trans Heaven Church Richmond, we've dedicated ourselves to creating a nurturing and inclusive environment for young transgender Black individuals facing housing insecurity.
Since our founding, we have worked tirelessly to provide emergency financial support, safe shelter, and holistic resources that empower our community members to thrive. Through love, acceptance, and advocacy, we continue our mission to eradicate homelessness and promote dignity for all.
We envision a Richmond where every young transgender Black individual has access to secure housing, support, and community. We strive to be a beacon of hope and empowerment, fostering a future where all members of our community can live authentically and without fear.
Our vision is a world where diversity is celebrated, and everyone can thrive in a safe and inclusive environment.
