Join The Marie Equi Center and Friendly House Elder Pride Services for a compelling evening of film and conversation. We’ll screen , a documentary examining the broader housing crisis. Following the screening, a panel of LGBTQAI2S+ elders will bring the discussion into focus, sharing their personal experiences with housing insecurity and the unique challenges faced by LGBTQAI2S+ communities. Together, we’ll explore ways to advocate for housing equity and support our elders in securing safe, affordable homes.
