Option-U is an emergency housing and resource program with a case management component. The project is a product of a collaboration between True T PGH and TransYOUniting. It was created out of the extensive need for stable housing and employment resources for the transgender and non-binary communities of Pittsburgh and the LGBTQIA+ community in its entirety. Although we are not a permanent housing solution, we want to make people’s current situation easier as we navigate through this crisis together.

1. Must be between 18 and 35 years old.
2. Must identify as transgender or non-binary.
3. Must be street homeless or in an unsafe environment.

These 3 pre-eligibility requirements are for access to the housing unit but any individual can utilize our other support services.
