BEING TRANS AND HOMELESS IN PORTLAND
MEANS BEING CRIMINALIZED

ONCE FOR WHO I AM, AND ONCE FOR WHERE I SLEEP.

Houselessness in Portland isn’t about tents or trash. It’s about the state choosing profit over people, again and again.
Chosen Kin Collective supports trans and queer youth left out of every system.
We need housing, not harassment.

🚨Rapid Response is a private, for-profit company paid for by the City of Portland to sweep camps. That means destroying tents, throwing away life-saving supplies, and displacing the most vulnerable.
This isn’t cleanup. It’s state violence in a safety vest.

Every tent holds someone’s story.
Every supply drop is a lifeline.
Every youth we fight for is family.
This is Chosen Kin. This is survival work.

Portland and ODOT are spending $900K to fence off Block 13, a camp where unhoused teens have found safety for years. Instead of housing, they’re getting displacement. Instead of care, they’re getting fenced barriers.
This is what criminalizing survival looks like.
