Rob Maitland, Raleigh, NC

“I have practiced real estate and civil law in the Triangle for over 25 years, and I have never seen the problems people are bringing to us today. This is completely different and new!
 
The brunt of the charge is taken up by organizations we all know and appreciate that have supported our communities for decades, and remain essential. Trust in Transit brings something we haven’t had before: a strategic-think-tank-meets-incubator model that spots emerging problems early, listens closely, and builds nimble solutions for the issues no one else is catching yet. It’s helping families navigate challenges that simply didn’t exist a few years ago — and making sure no one slips through these cracks.”

Trust in Transit strengthens resilience where it matters most... 

...among the professionals and entrepreneurs that support the livelihood of our communities. With legal and financial preparedness tools, we help understand vulnerabilities, plan for contingencies, and respond to challenges when they occur, to continue to thrive, even in stressful times.

But to continue doing it, we need your help.

By supporting this work we invest in community dignity and resilience, in responsible growth and in the capacity to continue the dreams on which is based the economy of our community, our state, our country.

These are extraordinarily uncertain times for binational folks

These are extraordinarily uncertain times for international professionals and entrepreneurs in the United States. Folks who have worked hard and followed the rules, see themselves suddenly in an unexpected state of vulnerability.  The network of support for the most vulnerable in our society vanished overnight when USAID closed, when the federal cuts gutted social service funds and Medicaid, and when the government shutdown froze key programs. Moreover, new groups who have never thought of themselves as vulnerable—doctors, engineers, construction workers, food service professionals, and families with mixed immigration statuses—find themselves one policy change or one administrative error away from spiraling into crisis.

That's where TrusT steps in...

Before disaster strikes, TrusT empowers folks with the legal, financial, and administrative tools to protect their property, jobs, and children from sudden displacement or exploitation.

When disaster strikes—whether a regulation shift, a visa change, a sudden loss of status, or when someone leaves, or is forced to leave loved ones behind—TrusT provides clarity, connection, dignity, and protection. Many of the folks we’ve served have faced forceful repatriation, or the sudden death of a head of household, whether due to unforeseen medical conditions or racially motivated violence.  We’ve: • Helped a family stop an HOA from opportunistically seizing their home. • Guided six health professionals through new regulations so they could keep their hospital jobs. • Helped parents correct property titles, and other legal documents so they wouldn’t be collaterally affected by laws targeted at others, and see the State strip their parental rights away. • Supported families in building guardianship plans and financial safety nets—before a crisis hit. • Supported over a dozen entrepreneurs protect their ventures, and all their workers and families with preparedness plans to reduce stress and anxiety in these very uncertain times.

We are talking about people who did everything right—and still found the ground shifting under them. No one voted to rob doctors and other service providers —in construction, food or other industries— working hard to keep their homes and livelihoods.

 

But here we are.
