This week: We report on several critical issues impacting Pittsburgh and Allegheny County communities. Trans individuals continue to face challenges to accessing adequate, gender-affirming health care. Pittsburgh's first season with two low-barrier shelters in Downtown involved a host of problems. Finally, the race for Allegheny County executive reveals very different approaches to safety in neighborhoods.
