“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Training: The Openhouse Cultural Humility Training and Technical Assistance program is a critical component of our strategy to create physical, emotional and economic stability for LGBTQ seniors who receive services across the greater housing and senior-services sector. Our training program effectively empowers partner agencies that serve seniors to break down the barriers LGBTQ seniors face in accessing their housing and services. By building a network of trained agencies that is welcoming to this target population and understanding of their unique needs, Openhouse is able to provide critical care coordination, referrals and support for the more than 2,500 LGBTQ seniors we serve every year. Our training program thus combines with our direct service program to bridge the gap between a vulnerable target group and the system of housing and care that exists to support the broader population. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Community Engagement: Community Engagement programs brings LGBTQ seniors together to reduce social isolation, stay engaged, enrich their lives and have fun. Social and cultural activities include: self-directed social events like game days and monthly potlucks; movie screenings, museum tours and other outings; general discussion groups; and arts and writing workshops. Over the next year, LGBTQ seniors will enjoy more opportunities for civic engagement and a life enrichment program with evening classes led by volunteer educators and experts in particular areas of interest.”
