Housing discrimination is a significant challenge for the transgender community. According to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, 19 percent of trans people have experienced homelessness at some point in their lives. In the shelter system, 55 percent reported experiencing harassment by shelter staff or residents, while 29 percent were turned away altogether. Trans people experience homelessness at twice the rate of the general public, and are likewise less than half as likely to own their home.
