Diverse Elders Coalition

LGBTQ+ Elders · New York · Free

National advocacy coalition working on behalf of diverse elders including LGBTQ+ older adults. 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+-affirming long-term care has measurable quality differences — SAGE Cares certification is a real signal. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
