Diverse Elders Coalition

LGBTQ+ Elders · Connecticut · 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. Many LGBTQ+ senior centers offer programs, meals, and peer companionship — often free with suggested donation. LGBTQ+ elders are twice as likely to age alone as their straight peers — community programs counter that isolation. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ Connecticut residents and the people supporting them.
