LGBTQ+ Elders · Oregon · Free

NCOA programs and resources for older adults including LGBTQ+ seniors. 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. Medicare and Medicaid cover gender-affirming care for elders in most states — including for people just starting transition late in life. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
