We’re making sure there’s a place for you
One of the most important decisions we make as older adults is where we’re going to live during our senior years. For all older adults, affordability is often a challenge. For LGBT older adults, so is finding a place that’s welcoming—where we can feel free to be ourselves and be treated respectfully and compassionately.
With our National LGBT Elder Housing Initiative, we’re addressing these challenges on several fronts by:
- Building LGBT-friendly housing in New York City
- Advocating nationally against housing discrimination
- Training eldercare providers to be LGBT culturally competent
- Educating you about your housing rights
- Helping builders across the U.S. replicate LGBT-friendly housing
The SAGE National LGBT Elder Housing Initiative is generously funded by Citi Community Development
