LGBT Resource Center Program Announcement
On October 21 HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced plans to establish the nation's first national
resource center to assist communities across the country in their efforts to provide services and supports
for older lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals.
The LBGT Resource Center will help community-based organizations understand the unique needs and
concerns of older LGBT individuals and assist them in implementing programs for local service providers,
including providing help to LGBT caregivers who are providing care for an older partner with health or
other challenges.
The Administration on Aging will award a single Resource Center grant at up to $300,000 per year,
pending availability of funds.
Eligible entities will include public-private nonprofit organizations with experience working on
LGBT issues on a national level. To view the program announcement, please go to
