50 Trendsetters To Watch #29: Project Fierce Chicago

Project Fierce Chicago is a grassroots collective of radical social workers, youth advocates and other community members who are working together to establish community-driven, identity-affirming housing in Chicago. Project Fierce’s mission is to reduce LGBTQ youth homelessness in Chicago by providing transitional housing and support services to LGBTQ-identified young adults.

PFC launched publicly in April of 2013 and received an overwhelmingly supportive response from queer & allied communities. Since then, the organization has expanded exponentially, hosted myriad community events, collaborated with radical organizations, and raised more than $250,000. Dozens of volunteers have dedicated time and energy to organizing events, house-hunting, promoting the project through tabling, social media and our monthly newsletter, and collaborating on fundraising efforts.”
