Amos  \nEmory & Henry College  \nAmanda O . Latz  \nBall State University  \nThalia M . Mulvihill  \nBall State University  \nThe purpose of this narrative inquiry was to understand how institutions of higher education implemented a gender-inclusive housing option for students from the perspective of student affairs administrators. Of particular interest was how housing administrators perceived a gender-inclusive housing option impacted students and the campus community. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven administrators at four-year, mid-size, public institutions on the East Coast. Data were organized into four themes:  \nexperiences related to (a) creating a welcoming housing option,(b) shifting the binary on college campuses,(c) dissecting room selection processes, and (d) building the gender-inclusive team. The results of this study help student affairs educators better understand the nuances of aligning practices with professional values in relation to the needs of LGBTQ+ students.  \nPlease direct inquires about this manuscript to: Samantha N.

Many  \ninstitutions require students to live on campus in the first two years of college so they can fully engage with their new community. Schuh (2004) noted the main purpose of residence halls is to help influence growth and development during the early college years so students could gain a sense of belonging at their institution. Students receive the opportunity to engage with educational materials through programming, workshops, and discussions provided by hall staff. Winston and Fitch (1993) suggested that residence halls should ensure students receive a holistic education, so they may contribute to society, advocate for various social justice issues, understand their own spirituality, and confront difficult ethical issues that may arise. These guideposts are meant to help student affairs educators and administrators stay focused on the institutional mission and vision by contributing to the co-curriculum within different aspects of campus, such as housing and residence life.  \nWhile housing and residence life professionals on college campuses across the country understand the criticality of bringing to life and contributing to the institution’s mission and vision, they also balance that imperative with meeting students’ needs. University housing departments have morphed over time to meet the changing needs and demands of students. Housing styles evolved to provide options such as rooms that fit two to four students, apartments, and single rooms (Schuh, 2004) . These options gave students the opportunity to identify how they wanted to live, with whom they wanted to live, and in which part of campus they wanted to live. Although many housing options may exist for students, there is still an ongoing need to provide additional inclusive housing options for students within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, and queer (plus other minoritized gender identities and sexual orientations)(LGBTQ+) community, and trans* individ-  \nuals in particular (Krum, Davis, & Galupo, 2013) . The asterisk used here in trans* is meant to be inclusive of all terms associated with gender identity that begin with the prefix trans (Nicolazzo, 2017) . Gender-inclusive housing (GIH) is meant to provide a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for student to express their identities in a comfortable space on campus. Institutions that provide GIH vary in how students select GIH options. Yet stumbling blocks exist.
