Seeking room/roommate

Hi, my name is Macie. I am an outgoing, friendly, geeky 26 year-old transwoman tomboy who recently moved to Dallas to be close to supportive friends and away from my very unsupportive and manipulative family. 

My living situation here is not working out, and my friends simply don't have room for me more than a night or two at a time.

I am a substitute teacher and moonlight at Grimaldi's, so I have a decent income and can afford up to $600 in rent. I also have my own car. My jobs, church, and activity keep me very busy, but am quiet, clean and don't have guests at home. 

You can reach me at my email: [email protected]

Seeking a room or couch, Addison area if possible

TPI has a request from Shelby, a 36-year-old trans woman seeking housing. She has a job and can pay up to about $300 to $400 per month for rent, possibly a bit more (she makes about $580/month).

Her job is in Addison, so if there she can walk to work, but would need something near public transit otherwise. She works nights so sleeps during the day.

She said homes with pets are fine, and she doesn't smoke but does vape and is fine doing that outside. She has no specific needs, and her health is good.

If you would like to know more or connect with Shelby and talk to her, please contact Nell at TPI and we can provide more information or connect you: 214-394-9835 or [email protected].

Seeking Housing DFW area

TPI has a received a request for help finding housing from a young trans woman (32 years old), employed full time in the Galleria area.

Emilie has transportation, she doesn’t smoke, she leans toward being vegetarian (but it’s difficult while dealing with housing instability), and she is ok with pets. She also is very involved in music, playing guitar, piano, and some violin as well as singing. She is energetic and determined, has a positive outlook, and likes to talk. Emilie has health insurance and is in good health. She can afford about $550, possibly $600, per month for her housing.

Emilie has been homeless for several months after moving back here (she lived in Fort Worth before) from a small town in west Texas, where her safety was at risk as she tried to transition. Her housing difficulty is due to a broken lease a couple years ago related to a situation that put her health in danger – she can explain more fully, but it was a one-time event that is causing long-term problems.

If you would like to know more or connect with Emilie and talk to her, please contact Nell at TPI and we can provide more information or connect you: 214-394-9835 or [email protected].

Seeking roommate in North Dallas in The Village

My apartment is in The Villages and my apartment is called the The Village Park apartments which is located off Lovers Lane and Greenville Avenue.  You would have the master bedroom where you would have your own private bathroom and big walk-in closet.  I have a washer and dryer for you to wash your clothes. The apartment comes with dishwasher and I already have internet and cable television with U-Verse. The apartment has an awesome swimming pool, quite community, access to the Village Country Club where you would be a member with its gym, clubhouse, tennis courts, the massive pool, and the many fun events the Village puts on throughout the month.

This apartment is close to everything 5 minutes from Northpark Mall, grocery stores (Tom Thump, Kroger, Central Market, and Whole Foods) all within a mile of each other. In fact Tom Thump is next door and Central Market is across the street.  There are plenty of eating establishments and you are 15 minutes from Uptown, Deep Ellum, and Downtown Dallas. 

I hope I perked your interest in possibly becoming my roommate

SEEKING: Young Trans Woman Moving to Dallas May/June 2017

TPI has received a request from a trans woman who is about to graduate from high school and is hoping to move to Dallas after graduation. She is currently in Nebraska, has one friend here in Dallas, and should have a second friend living here by the summer. However, neither will be in a position to share housing with her.

She is working part time now and hoping to save some funds for the move, but will not likely have enough to cover all she needs to get started. She would like to find anything that puts a roof over her head while she gets on her feet here in Dallas. The best location will be somewhere in the north part of the city (areas around Richardson or Carrollton/Farmers Branch), but is open to other locations in Dallas as well. She would need access to public transit. Access to the internet would be nice, as would quiet space to work, but these are not necessary.

She says she likes to make indie electronic music, is fine with pets, and she does not smoke. She also says that ideally she would like to find someone "who can encourage and motivate me positively."

If you feel you might be able to help, please contact Nell at TPI and we can put you in touch with her. You can contact Nell at 214-449-1439 or by email at [email protected].

SEEKING: Young trans woman seeking housing!

We have a request from a 19-year-old trans woman named Kendra seeking a roommate or housing for greater stability here in Dallas. She is single and doesn’t have a car or any pets (but is fine with pets), and she is in good health.

She is out of work right now, but has experience in customer service and restaurants and is both seeking employment and applying for Social Security benefits to cover her options. However, at this time has no income other than food stamps.

Kendra says “I like to write music, short stories, poems. [And, of course] I like to shop. I am a caring, kind person who is looking to share a home with a safe, trustworthy person.” She says she would like to find someone who doesn’t mind that she smokes, and who is “respectful, kind, considerate, trustworthy, and responsible. I have no religious preference.”

She is open to options in all areas of Dallas, so if you think you might be willing to take a roommate or housemate that needs some stability getting back on her feet, please consider giving Kendra or TPI a call.

If you would like to talk to Kendra, you can call her cell phone at 682-331-1852. You can also call Nell at Trans Pride, 214-449-1439 if you have questions or would like more information from us.

Reposting this because Kendra’s phone number has changed, and she now has even less time in the anti-violence shelter where she is currently housed. She is needing a place by November 29. If you can help, please contact TPI or Kendra directly.

SEEKING: Roommate or short-term housing

Deven is a 25-year-old trans woman currently living in East Texas and trying to get to Dallas where there is more access to healthcare and community support.

She has been on SSI since February 2015, and so can afford to help with rent, and has a Lone Star Card for food. However, she would have trouble meeting the income requirements to lease an apartment on her own. She hopes that she can come to Dallas and share a place with someone short term, then get a place of her own.

Deven smokes but is ok with smoking outside, and she is fine with dogs or cats and would like to get a cat of her own when she can. You can reach Deven directly at 469-275-7647, or you can contact Trans Pride for more information at 214-449-1439 or [email protected].

She currently does not have any income but has applied for SSI and has been on before. Long-term accommodation would be good, but she is also going to work with TPI to apply for a housing program that currently has some funding available.

If you would like to talk to Diamond, she can be reached at 972-898-1717, but only has text access for now. You are also welcome to contact Trans Pride for more information at [email protected] or 214-449-1439.

Alex has some savings so can contribute to food/bills if needed for the short-term stay. He says that a couch or anything that puts a roof over his head is fine. He is already filling out job applications so he can find work as soon as possible.

Seeking Room or Share arrangement

Trans woman and her son looking to move to Dallas. She is currently in Houston, but needs to move from the place she is currently staying, and would like to come to Dallas–North Texas is where she was born and raised, and she would like to get back to this area. She has a full-time job, but also has to pay alimony/child support, so that limits what is available for rent. Transfer to several locations in Dallas and the area is possible with the job, so she will remain employed when moving here.

She can pay up to about $300 a month for a couple months to get on her feet, then can start looking for her own place. Please contact TPI for contact information at [email protected] or 214-449-1439.
