HLINks Weekly: 26 May 2026
As we look ahead to Pride Month in June, it is an important moment to recognise and celebrate LGBTQ+ older adults and reaffirm our commitment to inclusive housing, health and care services.
Many older LGBTQ+ people have experienced discrimination, exclusion and barriers to accessing safe, affirming support throughout their lives. Pride Month offers an opportunity for organisations across the housing and community sectors to reflect on how we create places where everyone can age with dignity, visibility and belonging.
Join us on Tuesday, 2 June at our HAPPI Hour webinar, “Pride in Place: Celebrating Inclusive Housing & LGBTQ+ Community Initiatives”.
