Established in 2015, TransYOUniting creates an environment where black transgender women and other transgender individuals can thrive. Our comprehensive approach includes initiatives such as workforce development, advocacy, housing, and mutual aid.

OUR WORK MATTERS

TransYOUniting is a mutual aid non-profit providing resources to Pittsburgh's Transgender, LGBTQIA+, and HIV+ Community.

Dedicated services, led by our community, are crucial because:

• 19% of trans people are or have been homeless.

• We are twice as likely to be unemployed and 90% of us experience harassment at work.

• 19% of trans people have been refused medical care because of who we are.

• 41% of black trans people have been held in a jail cell because of their gender and race.

• 49% of us have attempted suicide. 80% of us struggle with suicidal ideation. 

• 22% of black trans people have been physically assaulted trying to access public accommodations
