Mary’s House for Older Adults
Mary’s House for Older Adults is a nonprofit organization that develops brick-and-mortar housing targeting the cultural and relational needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/same-gender-loving (LGBTQ/SGL) elders. Our first communal living home is in Washington, DC.
The vision of Mary’s House for Older Adults is to assist in the elimination of overt and subtle discriminatory behaviors, specifically in housing toward people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals as they age and experience the need for a more shared communal living environment.
