The Asterisk Project, was a safe(r), non-commercial and bilingual space in the Village of Montreal, created in 2014 for LGBTQ+ youth, offering numerous free services (gender-affirming gear, clothing exchange, library, collective kitchen, active listening, resources, etc.) through its Roommate organizations (Jeunesse Lambda, AlterH&eacute;ros, Juritrans, Maison Lambda and Rainbow Spice Collective). Every year, thousands of young people find their place thanks to our premises and our support. It is very difficult for us to find funding that would qualify for the administrative expenses of our space. The survival and accessibility of a space is still very important for the well-being of the Roommates and the Coalition. This fundraiser milestone is for the support of the deficit incurred to keep the space going until June 2026. The Coalition and current Roomates are collaborating to keep the space open from July until September 2026 for the move and lease transfer to another community initiative. The majority of the Roomates and the Coalition are prioritizing the goal of acquiring a larger space or building. Jeunesse Lambda, AlterH&eacute;ros and Juritrans are renting temporary space until we are able to achieve this goal. We hope that the 1575 lease can be transferred to a team that can keep it open as a community initiative. &nbsp; Thank you for your support !
