A Historic Honor.
At our 15-Year Anniversary Gala, Sisters PGH was recognized by Governor joshshapiropa as the longest-running Black trans woman-led organization in Pennsylvania—a title we carry with pride.

For 15 years, Sisters PGH has provided advocacy, peer support, and direct services to all trans and gender-expansive people, while prioritizing Black and Brown trans communities across Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, and Philadelphia.

Through SistersPGH, we offer:
	•	Project T (transitional housing)
	•	Monica Roberts Place (permanent housing)
	•	The Stonewall Inn (drop-in center for unhoused trans people: showers, rest, meals, peer support groups, toiletries, emergency shelter)
	•	Behavioral health services
	•	Case management & peer advocacy
	•	Rent & utility assistance & eviction prevention
	•	Employment opportunities & leadership development
	•	Advocacy & peer support spaces

And now, through SistersPHL, we’re expanding our reach in Philadelphia, providing:
	•	Emergency shelter
	•	Rent & utility support
	•	Advocacy and direct community care

“We’re honored to be a blueprint for trans-led organizations in Pennsylvania. This work is survival, liberation, and community.” — Ciora Thomas, Founder & Executive Director

Thank you, Governor Josh Shapiro, for recognizing this work—and to every person building this movement with us.
