About
Our Mission
Who we are
House of Rebirth was founded in 2019 and is led by Robyn La’Faye Crowe. We are a community based organization supporting trans people, especially Black trans women who are often left out, overlooked, and forced to figure things out on their own.
What started as responding to immediate needs has grown into a trusted space where people come for guidance, connection, and real support.
We do not just talk about change, we help people move through it. Whether it is housing navigation, connecting to resources, updating documents, or simply having a space to be seen and heard, our work is rooted in helping people move from survival to stability.
Our approach is simple. We meet people where they are, help them understand their options, and stand with them while they build something more secure for themselves.
House of Rebirth is about access, support, and making sure nobody has to do this alone.

From Our Community
Real experiences from individuals we’ve supported through our work.
“House of Rebirth didn’t just give me resources, they helped me figure out what my next step actually needed to be.”
“When I first connected with House of Rebirth, I didn’t know where to start. They helped me understand my options, connected me to resources, and stayed consistent through the process. That made all the difference.”
“There’s no place like home, and I didn’t understand that until I walked through the doors of House of Rebirth. That was the first time I felt safe, supported, and like I had a place where I actually belonged"
“Before I connected with House of Rebirth, I didn’t really have family or a support system. I was trying to figure everything out on my own. Being in this space changed that for me. I finally felt like I had people who genuinely cared. The love and support I received, especially from Pocah as a chosen mother, gave me a sense of stability I didn’t have before and changed the way I see myself and my future.”
“For the first time, I felt like I didn’t have to explain myself just to get help.”
We’re here to support you. Whether you need guidance, resources, or just don’t know where to start, reach out and we’ll help you take the next step.
