Housing for the Aged Action Group’s (HAAG) LGBTIQA+ community educators are running several events for older LGBTIQA+ community members about the experiences of housing and homelessness for older LGBTIQA+ people, including what places them at risk and where to go for help.

We have an upcoming session at the Victorian Pride Centre. The session will begin with a brief presentation by the community educators, and then there will be time to chat and connect over a cuppa. These events are as much about connecting socially, as they are about providing information on housing and homelessness. So, even if housing stress is not an issue for you, please join us and connect with others over afternoon tea.

There will also be staff members at the event to assist anyone requiring a referral to HAAG or who need follow-up information and support.

The event will be photographed, so please inform staff if you would not like to have your picture taken.
