This new program funds 15 organizations that currently serve LGBTQ+ communities to increase their capacity to provide culturally- and medically-competent gender-affirming care. Participating organizations include organizations located in Chicago, Central Illinois Friends in Peoria, Rainbow Café LGBT+ Center in Carbondale, and The Project of the Quad Cities in Moline.
