In recent weeks, My Sistah's House finished its 11th tiny home, the latest iteration of its Tiny House Project, which seeks to provide transgender and gender non-conforming citizens with transitional housing in a safe, inclusive community in South Memphis, Tennessee.
The LGBTQ+ housing organization has built 10 other homes since it established the project in 2022 and is working on erecting more while developing the community green space at the corner of the neighborhood. The goal, according to Founding Director Kayla Gore, is to chip away at the high rates of housing instability for transgender and gender expansive Memphians, who, like trans Americans across the country, more frequently face homelessness and housing insecurity due to employment discrimination.
