Largest and oldest organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ older adults. SAGEConnect, hotline, housing. Useful for elders whose biological family is estranged and who need chosen-family-aware support systems.

Estate planning is critical: without wills + medical proxies, hostile family can override partners and chosen family. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
