Transgender Day Of Visibility 2024
SisTers PGH is a BLACK and TRANS-led nonprofit organization that serves the Transgender community of Southwestern Pennsylvania.
Project T
Project T helps TGNC people transition from unstable environments and unsupportive communities to finding avenues to support and take care of themselves while connecting with the trans community.
The Home Equity Committee
The Home Equity Committee is dedicated to transitioning our members who have graduated from our Project T program into a place of permanent independence through home ownership.
Community Center
SisTers PGH's community center is a safe, brave, drop-in space for TGNC folk in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. In addition to a community hangout, we can provide access to clothing, toiletries, food, and computers, as well as referrals to vetted trans competent service providers, and intakes to our other programs as needed.
SisTers PGH Rent/utility Assistance Program
SisTers’ PGH Rent and Utility Program is designed to support and ensure safe housing stability for BIPOC Transgender people living in Pittsburgh/Allegheny County.
“In the entire course of a life, six months seems like a relatively short amount of time to bring about any real change, however, the six months afforded to me in The Project T Program by Sisters PGH saved and changed my life for the better in ways I could never imagine!
Prior to enrolling in Project T, my life was in complete shambles! I was literally homeless, and I had absolutely nobody to turn to for help.
The bright-eyed and goal-oriented young adult I once was had fallen on their last leg and was giving up hope for any type of productive future. I had witnessed my entire life go down the drain as my medical transition progressed. No matter how hard I seemed to try, my daily life struggles began to become almost more than I could bear.
Thankfully, Sisters PGH was the shining lighthouse I needed to help navigate my way out of my storm! Their method was simple - shelter + support = success - and that’s exactly what I needed!
The day I entered the Project T house for the first time was the first day I had been treated like a human in over two years! I couldn’t believe I had my own room, a couch to sit on after work, access to a computer, and a kitchen to prepare my own meals in! Project T took an immense burden off of my back by providing me with a stable living environment so I could focus on my health, finding employment, and securing permanent housing.
Today, six months later, I am living proof that the formula Sisters PGH uses for properly helping struggling Trans individuals works wonders! Not only have I secured permanent housing and a well paying job, I have actually started to smile and enjoy life again! Without Sisters PGH, I’m not sure where I would be today. I honestly may have given up, but I’m so thankful I didn’t!
I will forever be grateful for the opportunity I had to participate and elevate my life in this one-of-a-kind program! I highly suggest Project T to any Trans individual who is willing to work with Sisters PGH to get their life back on track!”
