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 LGBTQ+ 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 LGBTQ+ Elder Housing Initiative, we’re addressing these challenges on several fronts by:
- Building LGBTQ+-friendly housing in New York City
- Advocating nationally against housing discrimination
- Training eldercare providers to be LGBTQ+ culturally competent
- Educating you about your housing rights
- Helping builders across the U.S. replicate LGBTQ+-friendly housing
