Raising the Rainbow Flag: LGBTQ+ Awareness Through PHA Staff Training

As PHAs, we provide homes to people of diverse backgrounds–including Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) residents. We are also employers providing safe and inclusive workplaces where our employees are valued, honored, and comfortable expressing their identity. In both capacities, we are more effective when our staff onboarding, training, and care includes attention to LGBTQ+ inclusion. Come hear from colleagues who will discuss their best practices and models for staff training and policy-making on LGBTQ+ employees, community partners, and especially residents. You will leave with knowledge of practical and applicable solutions for better outcomes for all.
