Make This House a Home: SGL/LGBTW+ Folks Aging Together

  • Jane Addams Senior Caucus Zoom (map)

In this Table Talk, learn about some of the most innovative housing initiatives across the U.S. for older adults who identify as LGBTQ+ and Same Gender Loving.

This discussion will showcase examples of elder housing initiatives that are realized or currently in development and reflect values of affordability and inclusivity of all sexualities and gender expressions. For those aging solo and who identify as LGBTQ+ and SGL (Same-Gender Loving, a preferred term among some African Americans), a safe and affirming home is essential for mental health, caregiving, and living fully. Administrators, residents, and community members will share visions and plans to support these communities through intergenerational connection, arts programming, and end-of-life planning. This Table Talk is co-hosted by SAGE, Openhouse, Mary's House for Older Adults, and One Roof Chicago.
