THE FINANCIAL AND HOUSING STABILITY GROUP WAS ABLE TO DEVELOP A MUTUAL AID NETWORK OF QUEER TGNC COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER THROUGHOUT THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THE FOOD INSECURITY GROUP PARTNERED WITH BSA'S COMMUNITY PANTRY PROGRAM TO NOT ONLY SUPPORT PROGRAM PARTICPANTS WITH CONSISTENT ACCESS TO NON-PERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS AND FRESH PRODUCE, BUT WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO JOIN A FOOD SOVEREIGNTY COALITION AS WELL AS ESTABLISH A PARTNERSHIP WITH VEGAN OUTREACH TO HELP SUPPORT OUR PANTRY DELIVERY PROGRAM.

ADDITIONALLY, BRAVE SPACE ALLIANCE'S EMPLOYMENT JUSTICE PROGRAM SERVED 48 PARTICPANTS, ALIGNING THEM WITH AFFIRMING WORKSPACES, AND PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ECONOMIC INSECURITY AND HIV.
