Many LGBT older adults are not comfortable with letting others know about their sexual orientation or gender identity. This first of a two-part series webinar examines how this affects those who are especially vulnerable--including those of advanced age, those living in poverty, people of color, and older adults living in rural areas. This webinar examines the complex issues surrounding how LGBT older adults have created ways to keep themselves safe over the years and how those accommodations impact their access to health care and social services.

This two-day workshop will take place at John Knox Village in Pompano Beach, Fla., on March 25 and 26, 2020. Day one of workshop consists of an overview of the Green House model and other services provided by the organization (incluing a tour of a Green House home), while day two takes a much deeper dive into the key factors that affect the development, financial viability, and ROI of Green House homes.
