2018-2019 OPENHOUSE IMPACT REPORT 79units of LGBTQ-welcoming affordable senior housing opened in 2019
2 2018–2019 OPENHOUSE IMPACT REPORT Dear Family and Friends– We all know that chosen family doesn’t happen by accident. It doesn’t happen by sitting back, by waiting for others, or by adding your comment to the latest viral tweet or Facebook post. Chosen family happens when we step forward and take a chance on connection. It happens when we allow ourselves to show up as who we truly are and believe that there is a community ready to see us. I am so grateful for our chosen, intergenerational, powerful Openhouse family and community.
As you review this 2019 Impact Report and read about the accomplishments we’ve achieved—growing our community by 30% and opening our second building of LGBTQ-welcoming affordable housing for seniors— I want you to take pride for making the choice to build a community where LGBTQ people matter at every age. I am so grateful for each of you for giving your time, support, energy and love to show up and to build our chosen families and our community. Thank you to the hard-working Openhouse staff and board who show up time after time for our community, including on ON THE COVER: Christmas Day to make sure our seniors are not alone. Thank you to the more than 300 volunteers who participate in our holiday events, visit Morningstar Vancil, military homebound seniors and deliver gifts to LGBTQ seniors who otherwise veteran and social justice might not receive one. Thank you to those who have donated to provide activist, serves on the us with support for our programs. Every single donation matters—from Openhouse Leadership 10 Council and Community the $ donation I received after our Women’s Holiday Luncheon to the Ambassadors advisory $5,000 donation from a brand new donor who recognizes “no one else group.
