Retirement Concerns on Aging ​

Are you getting to that point in life where age has become a concern? Read on!!! On March 27, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Health & Aging team and SAGE were honored by the American Society on Aging (ASA) for their impactful work supporting LGBTQ+ older adults. This recognition highlights their ongoing commitment to advancing health equity and improving the lives of LGBTQ+ elders. SAGE and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation have partnered to create “Facing the Future Together: FAQs, Guidance & Resources for LGBTQ+ Elders.” This comprehensive guide offers trusted resources on community support, healthcare, financial planning, safety, and legal issues. It serves as a vital hub for LGBTQ+ older adults, especially during a time when many federal LGBTQ+ resources have been removed from government websites. Recent changes have led to the disappearance of critical LGBTQ+ resources, including tools for fair housing, support for homeless LGBTQ+ youth, and avenues to report discrimination. Despite these setbacks, SAGE and the HRC Foundation are standing firm, declaring #WeRefuseToBeInvisible and encouraging the community to remain resilient and connected. The guide embodies the strength, wisdom, and perseverance of LGBTQ+ elders. SAGE and the HRC Foundation invite everyone to share these resources widely and continue building a future where LGBTQ+ older adults are seen, supported, and celebrated.
