National LGBT Elder Housing Virtual Institute 2021

As the world works to pull ourselves out of a global pandemic, the disparities in housing access, health care, and community investment have become even clearer in the nation’s broader consciousness. The disproportionate use of carceral violence, the targeting of Black communities, and the collective memory of an unprecedented epidemic are only a few of the past year’s experiences that are unfortunately familiar to many LGBT elders.

And still, LGBT senior communities share a collective memory of mutual aid, families of choice, and community advocacy in the face of such violence. Please join SAGE at the National LGBT Elder Housing Virtual Institute to discuss the opportunities in this moment to create safe, affordable, and affirming LGBT elder housing in a variety of ways, with particular emphasis on the current public health and racial justice context.
