Did you know this week is Transgender Awareness Week? What is #TransWeek and why do we need it? During #TransWeek, transgender people and their allies help raise the visibility of transgender and gender non-conforming people, and address the issues the transgender community faces -- issues of prejudice, discrimination, and violence. The week culminates on Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), November 20, when we reflect on and honor the memory of those whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.
Learn more about transgender people and the issues facing them by vising GLAAD: www.glaad.org/transgender/transfaq

This #TransWeek, we sat down with transgender people and their families to look beyond the surface of what it means to be trans. Meet Jodie Patterson.
I feel I have so much to learn about my LGBTQIA brothers and sisters and I'm sure I'm not alone here.The important thing to remember as we learn together is that our love for each other should be unconditional.
USA Today: "Homeownership rates of black and Hispanic buyers remain far below that of non-Hispanic whites, with black homeownership suffering the most since the Great Recession. Over time, this hurts these groups’ ability to build wealth that can be tapped later in life or passed down to the next generation."
PathStone is working to change this harsh reality for community members of color. Between October 2016 - September 2017, PathStone assisted 224 individuals and families to preserve their homes through foreclosure prevention counseling and helped another 390 people buy a home through our first-time homebuyer program.

All homebuyers face a tough housing market, but larger shares of black and Hispanic buyers had to surmount more obstacles than white buyers.
We also have programs in several other locations and states, including Puerto Rico #homeownershipforall
