He built San Francisco’s first transitional housing program for homeless Transgender and Gender-Nonconforming (TGNC) adults, and now serves as the Director of Our Trans Home SF, a coalition of organizations addressing housing instability for Transgender, Gender Variant, and Intersex (TGI) people in the Bay Area. Remora has also been involved with St. James Infirmary, the first occupational health and safety organization for sex workers in the country. Rather than identifying as an activist, Remora says he sees himself as an advocate or a friend to the community and sex workers.
