Resource Directory
One place to start when you do not know where to start.
HPC is developing a verified directory of affirming businesses, organizations, providers, and community resources across Polk County.
Directory standards
Trust has to be earned, not assumed.
- Listings should be LGBTQ+ owned, ally-led, or affirming in practice.
- Organizations and businesses should consent before being added.
- Resources should be reviewed for usefulness, respect, and accessibility.
- The directory should help people find support without feeling exposed or unsafe.
Resource areas

Affirming counselors, peer support options, crisis resources, and community wellness programs.
Housing & Legal
Organizations and services that help with housing, legal needs, identity documents, and safety planning.
Employment
Job readiness, resume support, affirming employers, workforce resources, and training opportunities.
