National Resource Center on LGBTQ+ Aging

LGBTQ+ Elders · Alaska · Free

Federally funded resource center providing training, technical assistance, and resources on LGBTQ+ aging. Worth contacting for senior housing referrals where you can be out without fear of mistreatment. Long-term care ombudsman services exist in every state — ask specifically about LGBTQ+ resident protections. LGBTQ+ elders are twice as likely to age alone as their straight peers — community programs counter that isolation. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
