Transohio Mortgage & Loan Inc.

TransOhio is Ohio’s first statewide Trans Equity Organization, dedicated to protecting and advancing the rights of transgender, nonbinary, intersex, and gender nonconforming individuals within Ohio. Their core mission focuses on advocacy, education, and direct support services to foster a more inclusive and equitable environment for these communities.

The organization distinguishes itself by offering vital legal clinic services, such as free virtual Ohio Name Change Legal Clinics in partnership with other community groups. These clinics provide confidential consultations with pro bono attorneys to help individuals navigate the complex process of legally changing names and gender designations on identity documents. TransOhio also provides micro-grants to help qualified individuals with associated document and filing fees, removing financial barriers to these crucial legal processes.

Through a combination of legal aid, financial assistance, and community events like passport clinics and gender-affirming healthcare letter clinics, TransOhio strives to empower and support trans and gender nonconforming people across the state. Their commitment extends to addressing a range of issues from legal documentation to healthcare access, ensuring comprehensive support for their community members.
