ProjectQ’s mission is to provide a healthy and free-er future for queer youths of color experiencing the foster care to houselessness pipeline. ProjectQ provides free gender affirming haircuts, self-empowerment workshops, food & hygiene boxes, gender affirming clothing, chest binders, emergency housing, job programs, menstrual products, and so much more to LGBTQIA+ youth experiencing homelessness. Existing at extreme intersections of oppression in the US, the homeless LGBTQIA+ youths ProjectQ serves, especially transgender Black youth, is one of the most marginalized communities in their city and country. Through gender and identity affirming haircuts, and now through programming and resources available at their community center and salon, they work with LGBTQIA+ youths to overcome homelessness, hate and, discrimination to become amazing and fulfilled adults. While racism, homophobia, transphobia, and poverty are major systemic issues that persists, their organization works to combat these devastating forces every day and on a personal scale with these youths.
