Nearly $2 Million Initiative Widens Access to Lesbian, Bi, Trans, and Queer (LBTQ) Healthcare in Northern California

In2024, Horizons Foundation, alongside six grantee partner organizations, were awarded $1.9 million under the California Department of Public Health's LBTQ Equity Initiative. These organizations share Horizons’ commitment to supporting the most underserved segments of the LGBTQ+ community, and many of them have a specific focus on the most underserved within the trans community, including trans women of color and young trans women in detention centers.
