Diverse Elders Coalition

LGBTQ+ Elders · Tennessee · 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. Medicare and Medicaid cover gender-affirming care for elders in most states — including for people just starting transition late in life. Free, confidential, and open to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
