Phil Keithley of the SAGE program at the Center on Halsted will talk about its programs for older people in the LGBT population. Center on Halsted provides an array of programs and services for LGBT community members over the age of 55 through its Senior program. Each week, more than 150 seniors visit Center on Halsted's John Baran Senior Center to attend workshops, take classes, share a meal or make new friends. It has social events, support services, educational programs, computer labs, health resources, book groups, and other onsite services, and in addition the senior program at Center on Halsted hosts a number of programs throughout Chicagoland. It is also working with Heartland Alliance to create the Midwest's first affordable housing development dedicated for LGBT seniors, to be located next door to the Center on Halsted. Deb Donovan will facilitate. Questions and suggestions on health, housing, transportation, household upkeep, assistance with bills, paperwork welcome.
