This event is a panel session involving four experts involved in the successful creation of a new LGBT-friendly, low-income, senior housing development in Philadelphia. Perspectives include: multi-sector financing, development coordination, senior needs, green technologies, and integrating LGBT aging issues into program planning and facilities.

The panel will discuss the evolution of a significant precedent housing development in central Philadelphia that is specifically addressing the needs of senior citizens in the gay community, a demographic group that has been overlooked in programming and community planning initiatives until recently. Lessons learned will be shared for an in-house and national (via webinar) audience, highlighting the project management/development, senior programming, LGBT needs, funding, and planning perspectives.  Approved for 1.50 CM Credits
