The RELOCATION plan 100+ trans people used to move TO A SAFER STATE.
A free, step-by-step relocation worksheet. Savings, housing, jobs, documents, healthcare, community. The whole move, your entire plan,
before you go.
Moving across the country is one of the biggest things a person can do. Doing it while trans, often leaving a state that’s turned hostile, can be even more complex.
You shouldn’t have to figure it out alone, and you don’t have to. This is the same relocation plan we’ve worked through with 100+ gender diverse people who’ve relocated Oregon.
NOBODY HAS TO DO THIS ALONE
WHAT IS INSIDE
Our 3 recommendations for lasting moves: savings, housing, and employment
+ what do when you land and more.
-
Six milestones, in order: money, housing, income, documents and healthcare, logistics, and your first weeks landed. Each one has its own checklist and space to plan. Work it top to bottom, or jump straight to whatever's stressing you out today.
-
We break the number down so it stops feeling random. A room runs about $750, first and last to move in is around $1,500, and the rest is roughly three months of runway to land a paycheck before your savings run out. Adjust to $1000 for a studio. Not there yet? The worksheet walks you through saving, selling what you're not bringing, and crowdfunding the gap.
-
Every milestone links straight to real, trans-affirming resources we've used with people who actually made the move. No endless googling, no dead ends. Just the orgs, clinics, and programs that lower the barriers.
-
Landing is a milestone too. The worksheet covers your first-week list, applying for OHP and SNAP and opening a bank account, then points you toward the trans-led spaces worth showing up to early.
THe worksheet IS For EVERYONE
-
This is the heart of it. Whether you're getting out of a state that's turned hostile or just moving somewhere you can breathe, the worksheet is the plan that's worked for 100+ people before you. It's Oregon-specific, but the bones travel anywhere.
-
If someone you love is trying to move and you want to actually help, not just worry, this gives you both a shared plan. Sit down with it together, split up the to-dos, and turn a scary leap into a checklist you can work side by side.
-
Doing this work too? Take it. The worksheet is built to be edited, so you can swap in your own city's resources and use it with the people you serve. We'd rather hand you the map than have you redraw it. The path is yours to widen.
