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.

Have Couch - [Siler City, North Carolina]

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.

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

NEED COUCH - CATONSVILLE/BALTIMORE/ARBUTUS/HALETHORPE

I’m a 19 y/o transboy, currently a fulltime student at CCBC. I need to get out of my family’s house for several reasons I don’t have the time to elaborate on (I’m not allowed to be using the internet, nor am I allowed to leave my house without taking all of my stuff with me). I’m currently working as a nanny, but I’ll have to quit my job when I leave this house. I will, however, be on the hunt for a new job ASAP. I’m great with kids and pets, and I love cleaning and cooking. I’m very mild mannered and relatively friendly. I would prefer to live in the Arbutus/Halethorpe area, and currently live in Catonsville, within walking distance of CCBC. I just need a place to stay until I can get myself back on my feet.

Please contact tumblr user fluffixation in order to get in contact with me or if you have any questions, as I will not be available online after today.

Looking For Room- Boston

Hello all, my name is Lucas/26/post-op/transman. I’ve been thrown into a tough situation. Basically, I need to find a room to rent or housing to share by July 1st, when I’m being given “the boot.” I work and will be going back to BU in the fall. I drink socially a couple times a month—if that. I don’t mind weed and very rarely smoke myself. I’m quiet, clean, responsible, and respectful. I’m looking for my own room in an apartment/house. Although I am stealth, it makes me nervous to live with strangers as stealth. I want to live somewhere I don’t feel the need to hide—home is where you should feel comfortable.

My only other option is my sister’s couch a couple states away. After all the hard work I’ve put in securing my education, I’d really hate to give it all up because of this tough spot I’ve been put in.

I like to keep my email private (since it reveals my entire name) so if anyone can be of any help, please send me a message here on tumblr.

Need Room or Roomates - ATLANTA

AMAB queer trans 26 year old looking for a room or roommates in the Atlanta area ASAP! Please respond if you know of anything or anyone :(

GENDERQUEER seeking QUEER SANCTUARY

MANIFESTO:
*I want to live in a fabulous queer-only house! I mean, this is THE GAY AREA…this has to be feasible (right?!). I need radical queers who actually practice direct communication to be in my daily environment. I want to feel safe in my home and free to be a flamboyant unicorn made of glitter and ruffles and still be read as gender non-conforming. I want to have people around me who I get to be freaks with, where we can be mutually inspired by each others’ presence. 

*I want to be appreciated for being direct and assertive and to have that dynamic be reciprocal. I want to eat well communally (organic and whole foods whenever possible). I’d also would love an environment that can be supportive of MCS (multiple chemical sensitivities)…I’ve unfortunately experienced some ableism around this. 

AS FOR ME: 
I’m a raging queer, an herbal medicine student, a visual artist, and I am constantly in a state of growth. I love riding bikes, experimenting with sound, making clothes and crafting, cooking yummies, being silly, and camping. 

I tend to deal with conflict openly and directly and when I am overwhelmed by life stuff, I like a substantial amount of alone time and tend to covet my personal space when going through intense personal processes but I am open to people reaching out if they have the capacity to. I also have a sweet and loving partner who plays a good role in being supportive and holding space for me when I am going through it.

BASICALLY, I want to live in an abundant and supportive space where everyone is QUEEEERRRrrrr and appreciated for who they are <3 <3 <3

Need Roommate- Central Georgia

I’m looking to move out of a recently gone abusive situation with my roommates (describing in detail puts me at a near panic attack), but I need someone within the Macon/Warner Robins of Georgia area (as I still need to finish my associates degree before looking at moving at Middle Georgia College). Willing to go 50/50 on any rent. I have a job, and small amount of supplemental money. I have a local friend willing to move me for a small amount of money. I do not feel comfortable trying to juggle my newly acquired job from this area- and move to say Atlanta (as I see a few postings there for that), so this is sort of a desperate limb thing. I just don’t have enough to live on my own. Pre-T FTM. He/Him pronouns. Please, anything helps at this point due to the situation I am in.

Need Place To Stay

I am an FTM in my 40’s and desperately need a place to stay. I am on disability, therefore finding a place has been difficult. I am able to contribute to doing work around the house such as house chores and other minor home improvements. I prefer to not be around cig smoke or hard drugs, however I have no problem with weed. I must have access to public transportation.

I would prefer Northern Va, however I would be will to move to the Charlottesville area also.

NEED COUCH LOS ANGELES, CA

Hi I’m Jeremy and I desperately need to get out of my house away from my mother, this would be a couple weeks I hope.

I’m 18 years old and I’m currently transitioning, I’m Mexican and I can cook and clean! I’m good with ALL animals. I’m looking for a job and might secure one within the next week and I have my own transportation.

My reason for needing a couch: It’s a long story but my mother and I never got along, and it isn’t “oh she’s a bitch she never lets me do anything.” My mother let me do everything growing up, but she was never an actual mother to me. As an adult she continues to steal money from me and my grandmother and she puts me in jeopardy by putting me on credit cards. It is FRAUD but we cannot convict her without putting ourselves in jeopardy. I need to get away from her before she ruins my life completely, she has nearly kicked me out when I was 12 and called me disgusting and beat me. I wish I could say I love my mother but I don’t, my therapist, family, and friends all beg me to get out, I only wish I could…

I’d really appreciate being put up, and I’d help out as much as I could and attempt to pay some sort of rent. I just need to get out. 

NEED ROOM / BASEMENT, ETC. around PORTLAND, OR (pregnant!)

My partner and I are both mid-20’s and both trans, I’m ftm, post transition, and legally male. My partner is mft. Our situation is dire as we are 6 months pregnant, very accidentally, and based in a heavily religious and unaccepting city. We need to get out, ASAP, to a place where we can find some resources and safety - this place is becoming unsafe for us very quickly and we are having a hard time finding any appropriate medical care.This is our first child together, but we will have our 2 1/2-year-old twins with us. We need at least one room, basement, or realistic living area. This will only be for the summer, or less - as soon as we can find steady employment and a permanent place, as our older two kids will be joining us once the school year begins, and we don’t want to ask anyone to house that many people.

We own our own business and plan to establish ourselves permanently in Portland or the surrounding area. We can pay a small amount of rent but it would really help us out if we could pour lot of effort into sweat equity - we’re handy, clean, and able to take care of household chores, maintenance, meals, gardening, yard work, transportation (we have a vehicle), babysitting, pet sitting, laundry, errands, or anything else that needs to be done on a daily basis. We can also offer to pay using our business services (hand-etched glass and pencil portraits) or tattoo work (I’m fully trained and certified, opened and ran my own shop).

We would be very grateful if someone would also be able to point us in the direction of friendly medical care or maybe a doula or midwife, as we direly need it.

We do have a dog, who we are just not willing to part with, though she can stay outside most of the day if this is a problem. She is an indigenous (wild native) endangered breed, and as such is extremely intelligent. She’s fully trained, doesn’t bark, doesn’t have accidents, and is non-destructive - her nails won’t even scratch the floor. She hikes daily, thus is very calm inside. She gets along with all other animals and is gentle with kids. She’s up-to-date on all vaccines. We promise, she will never cause a problem.

Please email me if you can help - we’re very scared. r.tonic424@gmail.com. I don’t have a Tumblr - sorry.
