In the middle of a frigid COVID February in the Bronx, Sean Coleman found himself playing a strange new role in his already remarkable life: de facto building superintendent. Due to the cold, the pipes had burst in the elevator of the 16-unit transitional residence he’d recently opened with $440,000 of New York City Council funding. The residence is for transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) current and former sex workers over age 25. Housed in a brand-new building, the residence is named SWITCH, which stands for Sex Workers Immediate Temporary Comprehensive Housing.
