At Allyship, we believe everyone deserves to access a safe place, space, and community that feels like home! Housing justice is an essential piece of creating a sense of home – and we know that for too many in our communities, there are real barriers to having the basic things we need to survive, live with dignity, and thrive. We can do better, which means we need to get more LGBTQ people who’ve been directly impacted by unaffordable housing, displacement, homelessness, and discrimination to inform the next generation of policies, practices, and organizing approaches that will make the communities we’re part of safer and more livable!

If you are a person who is passionate about LGBTQ housing justice, we hope you’ll sign up to join our LGBTQ Housing Leadership Institute!

You will:

• Learn from housing experts from city and state government and from organizations doing the work at ground level.
• Gain technical skills
• Become familiar with public speaking, story sharing in all forms of media, event planning, story-collecting for advocacy, advocacy skills community-led resource gathering, mobilization, community organizing skills and an analysis around the connection between racism, classism, sexism, adultism and ageism.

Sign up today!

Who We Are Looking for:

1. 10 to 15 LGBTQ grassroot progressive advocates/activists
2. Ages 18 and up welcome, affected by housing instability (candidates under age 18 will be considered on a case by case basis!)
