The
White House LGBT Conference on Housing & Homelessness is part of a
series of conferences that will be held around the country specifically focused on LGBT Americans. From
February to June 2012, OPE will convene these White House LGBT
Conferences to provide grassroots leaders, community organizers,
advocates, students, and interested citizens an opportunity to hear
directly from the Administration on our efforts to ensure health,
well-being, security, justice, and equality for LGBT Americans.
The
first White House LGBT Conference, focused on Health issues, was held in
Philadelphia on Thursday, February 16th. Future Conferences will be
held in other locations
throughout the country and focus on topics including, but not limited
to, Safe Schools & Communities, Seniors, HIV/AIDS Prevention, and
Youth & Families.
