Seniors

Supporting Our Seniors (In Development)

​

At the Multi Cultural Queer+ Association, we are actively developing a Seniors Program focused on supporting LGBTQ+, immigrant, and BIPOC elders in our community. We recognize that many of our seniors face isolation, limited access to affirming services, and a lack of culturally responsive support—and we are working to change that.

 

This program is currently in progress as we build a strong foundation rooted in community input, care, and equity.

 

Our developing plan includes:

​

• Community & Connection
Creating safe, welcoming spaces for seniors to gather, share experiences, and build meaningful relationships through social events, cultural programming, and peer support.

​

• Health & Wellness
Designing programs that support mental, emotional, and physical well-being, including access to affirming care and wellness activities.

​

• Resources & Support Services
Connecting seniors to essential services such as housing assistance, food access, and benefits navigation, while advocating for more inclusive systems of care.

​

As we continue to grow our community center in East Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, this program will evolve alongside the needs of our elders. We are committed to building something intentional, inclusive, and impactful with our seniors at the center of the process.
