"Destination Tomorrow South recently received $25,000 in funding from the city of Atlanta for its pilot mentorship program. The funding came from legislation introduced by Post 2 At-Large Atlanta City Council member Matt Westmoreland. The Destination Tomorrow funds are part of a $55,000 grant, the city’s most significant investment in the local transgender community. Atlanta Legal Aid Society will receive $10,000 to help with the legal process of supporting transgender people to get their names changed. Another $20,000 will go to the Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective (BEAM) to sponsor up to 25 scholarships for Atlanta’s transgender and gender-expansive youth."
