After a year of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, a lifeline for trans and nonbinary people faces cuts

The lifeline is facing a $2.5 million shortfall at the end of 2023, and has also paused its microgrants program.

I'll just be grateful it'll still be around, but for how much longer? It's very concerning to know that it's entirely possible that a lot of trans folks won't be able to access this anymore. I know there's other options, but still.
Not running your hotline for the last two weeks of the year is unacceptable. Its probably too late for them to change that decision... So... Yeah I hope more funding is found next year.
Navigating warmlines and crisis hotlines that will not call police on you is pretty difficult and this is already a sector I feel like needs to be expanding right now. Access to mental health services really could get patched up better with the use of warmlines like this one.
