When the San Francisco Board of Supervisors Budget Committee present their proposal to the full Board tonight it will include an historic $300,000 commitment to turning around high rates of poverty in San Francisco's transgender communities.

Thirteen years after San Francisco outlawed discrimination against transgender employees, the Committee has earmarked funds to improve employment and entrepreneurial opportunities to overcome high rates of unemployment and underemployment among transgender people in the city.
