Dear Neighbor,
Our shared community benefits from the work of countless organizations, individuals, and community-minded institutions who uplift our collective well- being. This LGBTQ+ Resource Guide serves as one tool to help the LGBTQ+ community and allies connect with resources to meet real needs, like access to health care, legal services, scholarship opportunities, and more. By serving as a starting point, this guide offers one more site to connect with assistance and reach even further, even more comprehensive resources.
I want to close by expressing my deep appreciation to the volunteers, clinicians, advocates, professionals, and community residents whose service to fellow New Yorkers this LGBTQ+ Resource Guide depends on. Your efforts are indispensable to residents of Bed-Stuy, Northern Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and our City as a whole. My profound thanks, and the thanks of our shared community, for your tireless efforts.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Cornegy, Jr. Council Member, District 36
