The rent is too damn high, discrimination is real, and our people need housing. Let’s talk about it!
This month, we’ll be treated to a tour of the 2023 TRANSforming Fair Housing Report—brought to us by our friends at Equal Housing Opportunity Council (EHOC), Trans Housing St. Louis (THSTL) and St. Louis Queer Support Helpline (SQSH).
What’s for dinner: A potluck-style meal made with love by MO Ho staff + community members!
Potluck contributions (labeled with allergens) are welcome, but not expected.
Schedule:
6:00 PM - Community potluck and wellness supplies sharing
7:00 PM - Housing justice discussion and community shout-outs
Wellness offerings:
Community Closet
Hair and skin care
Makeup
HRT injection kits + sharps containers
A wide variety of condoms and lubricants
Dental dams
Menstrual pads and tampons
Pregnancy tests

... and more!
