LGBT Senior Housing

There was an article today about Billie Jean King endorsing a full-service LGBT Resort/Retirement community. I think it's pretty cool. If I had a little more disposable income, I'd definitely be investing in either it...or something in Phoenix. Dog...if I had the money (and the right type of job), I would totally have a winter home in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area and live in the Bay Area during the hot, miserable summer. Of course, it would also be nice to visit Phoenix just for the heat once in a while since the Bay Area really doesn't get that hot where I live. It can get warm once in a while, but not too often.

I also received a letter about a San Francisco Bay Area survey for Open House LGBT Senior Housing. I've included it below for those that might be interested:

[T]his message [concerns] an important survey that Openhouse, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization, is conducting to build senior housing and supportive services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) older adults. Your participation will assist openhouse as they better understand what LGBT seniors in the Bay Area truly need, want, and are able to afford so they can design the facility and its services with precision.

It makes no difference what your income is, or whether you would be interested in openhouse for yourself. The only requirement is that you live in the Bay Area and are 55 years of age or older.

To participate: Please go to www.vitalresearchsurveys.com/openhouse (between March 21 and April 6) to fill out the online survey. Your response is completely anonymous. You can also learn more about openhouse and their plans to build senior housing and services for the LGBT community by going to www.openhouse-sf.org.

Thank you for your help. Your participation will be making an important contribution to the work of openhouse and to understanding the needs of our senior LGBT community.
