National Council on Aging

LGBTQ+ Elders · West Virginia · 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. SAGE has affiliates in 25+ metros; if there's no local office, the national line connects you to phone support. Estate planning is critical: without wills + medical proxies, hostile family can override partners and chosen family. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
