G.L.I.T.S. (Gays and Lesbians living in a Transgender Society)

G.L.I.T.S., was founded in 2015 by Doroshow. G.L.I.T.S.'s mission is to provide long-term housing as healthcare for Black trans individuals in need. In an interview with activist Kimberly Drew via MoMA P.S. 1's Instagram page, Doroshow explained, "Creating housing is about saving people's lives. It's about getting them to the next step where they can be in their own kitchen... and say, ‘I am home.'" According to their website, the foundation has facilitated services to educate mainstream healthcare and social service providers in both trans and sex worker rights as well as provide housing for post-incarcerated trans people and people who seek asylum for their sexuality or gender determination.
