Does the institution offer housing options to accomodate the special needs of transgender and transitioning students (either as a matter of policy or as standard practice)?:
A brief description of the program, policy, or practice:
In 2008, Humboldt State University implemented a themed living community called Gender Neutral. This community is an intentional living community affirming the cultural experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, non-identifying, and questioning residents as well as their allies. The community also functions as gender-free housing. It allows same sex/gender roommates, opposite sex/gender roommates, or other sex/gender-identity roommate pairings. Residents who have not already chosen a roommate can elect to be assigned a roommate who is also interested in gender-free housing options. Students are only assigned to live in this area by choice and placements are gender blind.
For the next academic year of 2013-2014, this community will be renamed The Rainbow Community. Residence in this community requires the completion of a supplemental application to ensure residents are supportive of the mission. It is open to all students (regardless of identity), including first-year students.
