LGBTQ Senior Housing Inc

LGBTQ Senior Housing’s mission is to facilitate access to welcoming, safe and affordable housing for low-income LGBTQ seniors, including through a formal role in the development of such housing; to define onsite housing services and programming that addresses the needs of LGBTQ seniors; and to support community space to serve seniors in the Greater Boston community.

Currently, together with our development partner Pennrose and the architecture firm DiMella Shaffer, we are developing The Pryde at the former Barton Rogers Middle School in Hyde Park. This is the first LGBTQ-welcoming affordable senior housing development in New England. With the success of this project, we will be addressing both the need for welcoming and affordable housing and services that are LGBTQ friendly. 

The Pryde will provide 74 units of affordable housing in a vibrant, diverse, and engaging environment. Additionally, we will promote a welcoming and safe place where LGBTQ seniors in the Greater Boston community can gather and share stories, activities, learning, and build and celebrate connection. 

Beyond the establishment of this first LGBTQ-friendly senior community, we will continue to explore opportunities to develop additional sites as well as partner with others to help make other senior housing LGBTQ-friendly, as we believe that all senior housing should be welcoming and safe for LGBTQ seniors.
