On July 13th from 11am to 3pm at Maple Leaf Lutheran Church LGBTQ Allyship along with our LGBTQ+ North Seattle Planning Committee will host our inaugural LGBTQ+ North Seattle Housing Fair! We are invested in educating our community around housing issues, bringing community together to talk about their housing and neighborhood hopes and dreams, and ensuring access to housing and community resources. Our goal is to show the strong, vibrant LGBTQ North Seattle community that currently exists as well as providing new community connections, power and visibility in North Seattle. We want to invite you, as part of the North Seattle community, to table at this event to provide resources and support the building of our LGBTQ+ North Seattle community!

Access to affordable housing is a crucial issue for LGBTQ communities as it impacts our safety and visibility as well as access to community, culture, history, direct services and political clout. Where we live has such a profound impact on our well-being that it is imperative LGBTQ voices sit at housing tables and advocate for the health of our community. Our program will include North Seattle resources, an intergenerational LGBTQ+ panel, LGBTQ renters’ rights training, community artist performance, and community networking opportunities!
