Mission
The Transgender Advocates for Justice and Accountability (TAJA Co) Coalition has been organized to identify and fulfill the essential needs of transgender women of color through advocacy and service implementation. TAJA Co understands that traditional public service support lacks the lived experience of transgender and gender non-binary community members who are often disproportionately impacted by structural violence, such as housing insecurity, poor health outcomes, and barriers to both gainful employment and higher education. The Coalition is made up of individuals and organizational allies committed to our shared mission to stop the genocide of trans women of color. The vision of TAJAs Coalition is safety for trans women in a world free of the prison industrial complex and state violence; an economy centered on the needs of people; and arrangements of power and space that centers interdependence.
Program accomplishments
- Housing Sustainability:In Fiscal Year 20242025, the TAJA Housing Program was the primary direct-service initiative, accounting for all program expenses related to housing stabilization and economic mobility. The program provided intensive case management, housing subsidy assistance, eviction prevention, and financial literacy training to transgender, gender-diverse, and intersex (TGI) individuals experiencing housing instability in San Francisco. Throughout the year, TAJA conducted ongoing one-on-one case management sessions, ranging from 4 to 16 per month, to support participants with housing navigation, service linkage, and individualized planning.Program services included rental subsidies, move-in assistance, and eviction-prevention support, enabling many participants to maintain or secure stable housing. Participants also received financial literacy and life skills training, including budgeting, financial planning, and goal setting, which improved their long-term housing stability. TAJAs case management model emphasized holistic care, connecting participants to external resources, such as employment services, mental health support, and public benefits, as needed.The program reached over 190 unduplicated clients, providing needs assessments, service plans, and financial education support, far exceeding initial targets. Participants made measurable progress toward goals such as employment, higher education enrollment, and financial stability. Despite challenges such as San Franciscos budget deficits, reduced nonprofit capacity, and rising unemployment, the TAJA Housing Program maintained consistent service delivery and adapted through proactive outreach, participant re-engagement, and stronger referral networks.Overall, the TAJA Housing Program was essential in stabilizing vulnerable community members, addressing immediate housing crises, and building long-term pathways to economic security and independence.Expenses $482,926
- Workforce Development:In Fiscal Year 20242025, TAJA Coalitions Project F.A.a.M (Fierce Achievement and Mentorship ) Workforce Development and Career Advising Program offered structured career exploration, academic guidance, and workforce readiness support to transitional-age youth (ages 1618) in San Francisco.

Core services included individualized career advising, career road mapping workshops, and integrated housing and financial sustainability education.Throughout the year, participants engaged in one-on-one career advisory sessions to identify long-term goals in fields such as business leadership, animation, broadcasting, entrepreneurship, and skilled trades. Staff helped participants develop actionable plans, including maintaining GPA benchmarks, applying to colleges like San Francisco State University and Sacramento State, and pursuing scholarships and employment. Many participants improved their GPA above 3.0, graduated from high school, and enrolled in higher education or prepared for trade pathways.In addition to individualized advising, TAJA Coalition delivered career road mapping and housing sustainability workshops that provided practical knowledge on financial planning, housing options, and employment pathways. Participants reported high levels of satisfaction, with the majority rating program usefulness and relevance between 4 and 5 out of 5.

The program was critical in equipping participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to pursue sustainable career and education pathwayExpenses $133,734
- Education and Resources - Unity in Arts:This comprehensive, culturally grounded wellness initiative expanded access to gender-affirming, trauma-informed services for transgender, gender-diverse, and intersex (TGI) individuals in San Francisco. Core activities included one-on-one peer navigation and case management, somatic wellness sessions, fellowship training, and development of program infrastructure and materials.The TAJA Coalition delivered over 50 individualized somatic wellness sessions and engaged more than 30 participants through community partnerships and in-house programming. Services used evidence-informed practices such as HeartMath and grounding techniques to support emotional regulation, reduce stress, and improve mental wellness. Participants consistently reported greater feelings of safety, connection, and access to affirming care, especially when facing housing instability, employment challenges, and systemic barriers.The program prioritized workforce development through the Peer Navigator/Somatic Arts Fellowship, recruiting and training fellows in trauma-informed care, intercultural praxis, and community-based wellness facilitation. TAJA Coalition also developed key materials, including the Unity in Arts Manual, Mental Health Support Guide, and Trans Wellness Peer Navigation Toolkit, to support quality assurance and future scalability. Community engagement strengthened referral networks and expanded outreach, positioning the program for continued growth.Despite staffing transitions and delays in implementing the group workshop, TAJA Coalition maintained consistent direct service delivery and used ongoing evaluation findings to refine program design, enhance training, and prepare for expanded programming in the next fiscal year.Expenses $126,304
