ince its formation in October 2001, Senior
Housing and Retirement Enterprises: A
G L BT Coalition has been going strong. Its mis
sion is to develop affordable housing options for
gay, lesbian, bi and trans seniors.
SH A R Es housing survey, launched last June
at Portland Pride 2002, will continue through
the end of August. The results then will be com
piled and published in Just Out.
Seniors can help SH A RE reach its goal of
1,000 surveys by calling and asking that a ques
tionnaire be mailed to them. According to
board president Mary Beth Brindley, grants
from Portland’s Equity Foundation and Seat
tle’s Pride Foundation will cover the cost of the
surveying.
SH ARE has five working committees in
2003: budget, fund raising, nominating, public
relations and survey. Seniors are encouraged to
contact Brindley if they would like to join one.
