NEED COUCH - Thomaston CT

Hi, I’m in desperate need of a place to stay within the next couple of weeks. I’m a 25 year old MtF that has not been able to transition so far because of financial problems. I don’t have a job but I can do IT related work, I have my bachelors’ in software development. I don’t have a car and will need some kind of transportation or public transit to get from place to place to find a job.


I’m open to mostly anything besides drugs and smoking, as my lungs have been really messed up and can’t take things like cigarette smoke much anymore.

I’m looking at almost anywhere I’ll travel out to you if possible. I’m in CT but I will travel out of state. Thanks. <3

Have Couch (Siler City, North Carolina) (updated 6/16/2013)

There is a group of folks that live out in Chatham county on a 12 acre land with 1 acre vegetable garden. (8 to 12 people). We are pretty close to Greensboro, Chapel Hill, and Durham. Google “Siler City, NC” and you will see! Despite what you may think of rural North Carolina, our town is quite the nice little haven for a decent amount of LGBTQ folks.

I, Kat, am a trans identifying person, and there are many other weird people here with amazing genders of many flavors but who are not trans identifying. If you are clear about your name and pronoun preferences from the start I think you will find things easier. Gender neutral pronouns of various flavors may be new to some folks here.

 We have some indoor space for short term visitors. Longer term visitors can become cumbersome in the living room, but are welcome to build a tent platform (we can help you gather materials and we have tools) and camp. First month is free, second month 50$, and long term visitors pay 110$ a month. This includes access to kitchen, electricity, tools, barn, and garden space. We have two community workdays a month. There is a community vehicle that is available for 40 cents a mile and willingness to take it to get maintenance done out of the vehicle’s fund (change oil, fix tire, etc.)

We also have meetings twice a month. We check in about how someone’s visit is going after the 1st, 3rd, and 6th month. After six months longer term options may be available.

If you are interested in farming, wild crafting, art, hunting, tanning buckskin, carpentry, homesteading, cabin building, or medicinal herbs this is a great place for you.

CONTACT INFORMATION: deleeke@gmail.com or the land line is 919-663-2306, ask for Kat. Call back if no reply — this is a shared line and messages frequently get lost in translation.

I farm about 20 hours a week here and grow vegetables for a CSA that runs April through November. You are welcome to come volunteer in the garden, and I sometimes have paid work available.

The big things we all agree upon and want from each other are:

Willing to communicate/work on communication

Sharing and maintaining community spaces and tools

Being punctual and accountable for financial commitments

Showing initiative and creativity in finding ways to contribute to the group tasks and spaces

Participating in meetings

I gotta get outta this place (Anderson, Indiana)

I’m an MtF transsexual in Anderson Indiana, and I desperately need some place to go. Somewhere cat friendly would be great. Things have been really hard this past 6 months, and now my mom might be dying… This place is killing my soul and I fear what the consequences of that will be if I continue to let it happen. Please help me, this is one of 2 of my last resorts… I’m at my wits end.

I don’t have a job nor an income… but as a condition for letting me stay I will do chores around the house, anything that’s needed. I’m a hard worker, and I’m low maintainence, and I’ll take care of what I mess up. Also I will look for employment as well while I’m there, or attempt to get on disability since I have asthma and also gout.

I don’t mind if there’s marijuana, nicotine or alcohol. I partake in the first one occasionally, but if I don’t have it then I’m okay. I just don’t want to be around hard drugs again, I’m a recovering addict (I won’t say what to unless you ask) and I’d appreciate it if I’m not exposed to anything else.

About my cat: she’s still young-ish, about 4 years or so, calico long haired. She does have social issues, but once she warms up to someone then she’s very friendly and very loving. Please get back to me on this. I’m willing to relocate as far away as nessicary if I have to. I would like it if I didn’t, BUT if I have to, then I’m willing to. Also, I have no money, so if I will have to relocate, you’ll have to help me with that. And if you do, then I WILL pay you back, I never forget my debts.

Also, I will require at least a little bit of internet access to stay in touch with my younger sister, I promised her that I would.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

NEED COUCH - AUSTIN, TX

I’m a trans girl age 29 currently living in the Rio Grande Valley in south Texas. I need a couch in Austin,TX sometime in late July or early August. My current situation is being unemployed and despite beginning transition I’m not out to my family for fear of being kicked out (let me put it this way, my mom believes evolution is a hoax). I need to get out of here and to a trans friendly place unfortunately I am unable to get very far so I am limited to staying in the state and thus am looking for someone willing to put up with me for an indefinite amount of time while I find a job and a place of my own in Austin. Although my savings are very limited I can pitch in for groceries and gas if I need to be driven somewhere and I’m more than willing to take over household chores. I don’t feel safe with my family and feel like I have no other option than to leave and risk it all in a new and safer city.

Room for rent, $600 in Hillcrest/Mission Hills are of San Diego!

A friend (Emily) and I have rental applications in for a super cute two bedroom apartment in a duplex on Albatross Street. 

Our third roommate, who was gonna take the single, bailed so now we are desperately looking for someone to take that space. 

The room is 7x7, upstairs in a duplex, $600 a month, plus utilities.We also have a 8 week old kitten named Pixel!  The place is two minutes (walking) to the Hillcrest shuttle that will get you to UCSD. It is also not that far on the bus to SDSU or USD, as far as I am aware. It is a two minute walk to the 10 line, which will bring you to Old Town Trolley Station. It is a five minute walk to the heart of Hillcrest, where you can catch a variety of buses, such as the 11 to Skyline Heights or the 120 to Kearny Mesa.

We are too super cool, geeky, vegan, queer students. You don’t have to be any of those things, just respectful of all of that stuff and we will respect you! 

If you are interested in rooming with us, shoot me a message and I will give you my Facebook so we can talk it out!

P.S. We definitely won’t be able to afford rent without another person and are unable to find other housing, so this a pretty serious situation! We are pretty anxious that we won’t have a place to live this summer and school year. Please signal boost or tell your friends! Come on, SD! We are body posi, sex posi, vegan, queer, LGBTQIA inclusive, studenty, awesome, super sweet, rad people to live with!

*Once we have a place secured, we plan on opening up our couch to people in need! So keep us in mind!*

Need a room to rent in Portland or Eugene, OR

I’m a transwoman in need of a place to live. I have to be out of my current place at the end of this month (June). I graduated with honors from the UO last year and have been trying to find work here in Eugene since, but just can’t seem to find anyone who will give me a chance. I’ve gone through the employment office, staffing agencies, Goodwill Job Connections program, and just can’t find a place that will hire me. At this point, I’m pretty sure it’s due to discrimination.

I would like to move up to Portland because I feel I would probably have a better chance finding work up there. My family disowned me, so I can’t turn to them for help. I’ve been living off my savings, but that’s almost gone. My funds are pretty low right now, but a friend of mine knows someone who wants to make an anonymous donation of 6 months worth of rent, so I would be able to pay rent. I would prefer something around $350 or lower. The lower the better, obviously. I don’t drive, so I would prefer someplace near public transit. I’m pretty easy to get along with, quiet, respectful, accommodating. I don’t smoke or do drugs of any kind.

You can message me through tumblr. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have a couch in London, Ontario, Canada

I have couches available in my apartment in London. It’s on the second floor, unfortunately not wheelchair accessible. For transportation; I am near major bus routes, and I have a bike I’d be willing to lend anyone staying. For food, I follow a vegan diet, however I can accomodate for the dietary restrictions/allergies of anyone staying here. My friends and I have frequent cooking parties, and I’m sure they’d be willing to share their food as well. In terms of drugs, alcohol is okay. It is a smoke-free apartment however, and I don’t want to get in trouble with my landlord. Weed is fine, no hard drugs though. For length of stay, I can take someone at any point this summer, up until September 2013. After that I’m not sure; I will make another post specifying any changes made.
I myself am a white queer FAAB genderqueer person, and I am incredibly open to people of all races/identities (I consider myself an intersectional egalitarian).
I have a roommate who is also accepting of queer/gender-variant people and POC. He is white, cisgender, and heterosexual, however he will not be living here permanently until September. In the meantime, he might stop by once a month.

Need Couch Jacksonville, Florida

My name is Jack, I am closeted trans male with bipolar, manic depression. My friend Emily and I who is gender fluid non binary identifying are in a precarious living situation and are looking for a permanent living situation. 

We both receive ssi, and are looking for a dependable person hopefully who already has an apartment or house and is tired of drama and bullshit.  My emotional problems stem largely from my family and it’s becoming increasingly unhealthy to live with them. Emily has been a great influence and I’d like for us to be able to stick together. I like to paint and Emily is a bitchin cook.

We really need to move by July, and we are open to meet you whenever. I just got a job this morning, so even with ssi I want you to know we’re trying really hard to be productive.
