InReach (fka AsylumConnect)

InReach (fka AsylumConnect) is a trans-led tech nonprofit building the world's first open source verified resource platform for LGBTQ+ people facing persecution or discrimination. At scale, InReach will ensure every trans and queer person has on-demand access to the safe resources they need to thrive.

• InReach instantly matches LGBTQ+ people in need with independently verified safe housing, medical and mental health care, immigration and other legal help, trans focused services, meal assistance, education and employment, translation, community and spiritual support, and more.

• Available on web (desktop and mobile), native iOS, and Android, over 9,000 services across North America are currently listed with new independently verified services added every day by trained volunteers. 

• InReach is a digital one-stop-shop designed to address intersectional community needs, with services focused on LGBTQ+ asylum seekers/refugees/immigrants, BIPOC communities, TGNC folks, youth and caregivers, and more. 

• InReach is free for everyone – including lawyers, case managers, teachers, and other providers and community organizations searching for affirming resource referrals for LGBTQ+ clients. 

• So far, over 400,000 people have used InReach to access safe, verified services.
