We've partnered with the Colorado Health Foundation to release Economy, Housing, Mental Health and Substance Use: Perspectives of LGBT Coloradans. The brief explores the experiences, beliefs, and values of LGBTQ Coloradans compared to non-LGBTQ Coloradans on issues related to the economy, housing, mental health, and substance use, and the results tell an important story.
• Despite the growth in Colorado's economy, LGBTQ Coloradans aren't benefiting from that growth like non-LGBTQ Coloradans.
• LGBTQ Coloradans are more likely to struggle to find a place to live that they can afford.
• LGBTQ Coloradans are more likely to experiences challenges in accessing mental, behavioral, and recovery health services that they need.
This affirms what you've told us and what's documented in our most recent health report Closing the Gap: The Turning Point for LGBTQ Health. We know that despite the incredible progress we've made to advance the rights and protections of LGBTQ Coloradans in this state, we have so much more work to do. We can't do it with you.
You can contribute to the momentum we've built by donating today. For every $30 donated, we are able to print and distribute five copies of Closing the Gap. Can you join us helping to close the gap between legal and lived equality by donating $30, $60, or $90 today?
