Providing continuously affordable housing to trans people in the Denver metro area by pooling together and sharing resources
- Temporarily housing trans people in need for free in order to alleviate the homelessness crisis that disproportionately affects our community
- Fostering community by providing a space where trans people can gather, socialize, organize, and bond
The Lavender Hearth Co-op is explicitly organized around socialist principles. It does not aim to create profit, but instead seeks to decrease the cost of living for trans folks by socializing and democratizing housing.
