Building Healthy & Affirming Communities Through LGBTQ+ Housing w/ Jim Harvey

The E(Queer)ity Podcast by Renée Brown

Episode notes

We have another exciting episode coming your way focusing on the housing crisis impacting LGBTQ+ communities. The realities of being unhoused that impact LGBTQ+ youth and older adults, in particular, are manifold. Many queer people are either denied, rejected or can’t afford housing related to their identity or work circumstances. Join Jim Harvey (pronouns he/him) and I as we discuss the following:

  • housing as a form of physical, emotional, and psychological security
  • encouraging intergenerational discussion between youth and older adults
  • the creation of One Roof Chicago meant to house LGBTQ+ individuals living in the South Side of Chicago
