Transgender Sanctuary City

The City of Hillsboro should declare itself a Transgender Sanctuary City and allocate funding for relocation assistance to better support the transgender community. This would involve implementing comprehensive non-discrimination policies to protect transgender individuals in employment, housing, healthcare, and public accommodations. The city would also enhance support services by providing relocation assistance for those facing discrimination, and strengthen enforcement of hate crime laws while creating safe spaces for transgender individuals.

Additionally, Hillsboro should develop training programs for law enforcement to ensure respectful treatment of transgender individuals and invest in education and awareness campaigns to promote understanding and inclusivity. Establishing LGBTQ+ centers, counseling services, and healthcare facilities sensitive to transgender needs would provide essential support. These initiatives would foster an inclusive and supportive environment, enhancing the well-being and sense of belonging for transgender residents.
