InReach (fka AsylumConnect) is a trans-led 501(c)(3) tech nonprofit creating the first open source verified resource platform for LGBTQ+ people facing persecution or discrimination. At scale, InReach will provide every trans and queer person with on-demand access to the safe resources they need to thrive.
The InReach platform connects users to independently verified services, including safe housing, medical and mental health care, legal help, abortion care, meal assistance, education and employment opportunities, translation, community and spiritual support, and more. Available on web (desktop and mobile), native iOS, and Android, over 9,000 services across the U.S. are currently listed with new verified services added daily by trained volunteers.
Designed to meet intersectional community needs, InReach lists vetted service providers focused on LGBTQ+ asylum seekers/refugees/other immigrants, BIPOC communities, transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) folks, youth and caregivers, and more LGBTQ+ communities in need. The platform is free for everyone, including lawyers, case managers, teachers, community organizers and other providers searching for affirming referrals for LGBTQ+ clients.
To date, InReach has helped over 400,000 people access safe, verified services.
