"While we’re heartbroken over the closure of St. James Infirmary after serving Sex Workers for nearly 25 years, we’re extremely grateful and relieved that our community partners have agreed to take over our remaining programs and support our phenomenal staff."

"Lyon-Martin Community Health Services has been providing clinical care to trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and intersex (TGI) communities and cis-gender women for over 40 years, and will be operating SJIs Outreach Program, led by Celestina Pearl.  Founded by righteous activists, and rooted in reproductive justice and self-determination, Lyon-Martin has inspired SJI’s principles and philosophies, and we can’t think of a better organization to house one of our first official health care programs.  Lyon-Martin Executive Director, JM Jaffe, is a former SJI Board member, and a highly capable and trustworthy leader who, along with the entire staff and Board of Directors, will help ensure that this important work continues. Please consider supporting excellent, high-quality, compassionate and trauma-informed medical, gynecological, and mental health care services, including the Naughty Nurse Mobile, by sending your donations to Lyon-Martin."

"TGI Justice Project (TGIJP) provides vital services to transgender, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and intersex communities, and is now running Our Trans Home (OTH) Subsidy Program.  The Bobbie Jean Baker House is now closed, but TGIJP has found new homes for all of the residents, while they are enrolled into the OTH Subsidy Program.  With Janetta Johnson’s fierce advocacy, Sharyn Grayson’s graceful leadership, and our beloved Stephany Ashley’s guidance as a member of the Board of Directors, along with TGIJP’s amazing support team, we feel confident that our staff and participants will thrive in their new home.  We’re so proud of the dedicated and brilliant OTH housing staff for their tireless efforts to ensure that their peers are safely housed and treated with dignity and respect, and we applaud their resilience in navigating incredibly challenging working conditions at St. James Infirmary.  Please consider supporting innovative trans-led housing services by sending your donations to TGIJP."

"Long-time community partner, and former office-mate, San Francisco Community Health Clinic (SFCHC), will oversee Taimon Booton Navigation Center (TBNC), SJI’s largest peer-led housing program for trans/GNC and sex worker communities.  Founded in 1987 as Asian AIDS Project, the organization provided support to the Asian and Pacific Islander community during the AIDS crisis, eventually launching as Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center in 1996.  Since that time, they became a federally qualified health center (FQHC), remaining rooted in API communities while welcoming anyone who needs health care and social support services.  SFCHC now provides medical, mental health, education, and community services, including transgender health care (Trans Thrive), and street-based services.  With a strong organizational foundation and leadership team, and a variety of resources for both participants and staff, we feel confident that TBNC and the extraordinary staff will be supported in their new home."
