Spotlight on LGBTQ+ Liberation and Community Development
LGBTQ+ people have a powerful history of organizing and cooperation to support. Yet there is little focus within community development on development without displacement by and for queer and trans communities, and the challenges and opportunities they face in scaling this work. As extremist groups and policies increasingly target LGBTQ+ people, strategies to build queer and trans community and economic power for systems change are urgently needed. This LISC Institute for Community Power Spotlight focuses on the intersections between LGBTQ+ liberation and community development.
Liberation Begins at Home: Creating LGBTQ+ Friendly Housing
LGBTQ+ people face discrimination as home buyers, as renters, in the workplace, and when seeking health care, in addition to higher rates of homelessness and trauma. We spoke to three LGBTQ+ organizations that saw housing needs among the people they work with, particularly senior housing and transitional housing for youth who have experienced homelessness, and partnered with community developers and housing organizations to help make these projects work.
