At LGBTQ Senior Housing, our core mission is to serve low-income LGBTQ older adults and allies by providing affirming, income-restricted housing and programs that uplift and celebrate our LGBTQ family, our communities, and our neighborhood. 1/
Yesterday, @mayorwu.boston.gov signed my Surplus Municipal Property for Affordable Housing Ordinance into law. This new law ensures that when city buildings go offline, they’re first considered for affordable housing. Thank you to all the advocates and community members who made this possible!
Congrats to The Pryde, named the 2025 recipient of the AHTCC Recognition of Housing Tax Credit Excellence in the Housing for Seniors category! With City support, The Pryde turned a former school into 74 affordable homes – the first LGBTQ-affirming senior housing in New England. @mayorwu.boston.gov
We could not have done this without you!

Posed picture of four smiling older adults with four of the filmmakers and producers, also smiling, in The Pryde Community Center, a converted middle school gym. Behind the group is a drop-down screen with a picture of the exterior of The Pryde building against a blue sky, the Pride Progress flag, and the words, "Welcome to the screening of Living With Pryde."
The @wgbh.org filmmakers and producers who made the documentary "Living In Pryde" possible, in all of its power and beauty, joined residents and friends at The Pryde Community Center showing and panel discussion yesterday. We're proud to call this remarkable team our family.
Six months ago @wgbh.org came to The Pryde to interview a few residents about how it feels to live in this time of backlash and retrenchment against the LGBTQ+ community. The short segment they were planning took on a life of its own and this beautiful film was born. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MHH...
We were honored to stand with @mayorwu.boston.gov, elected officials, and community organizations from across Boston and our Commonwealth against this baseless attack on our City and our home.
The Boston City Council is considering an ordinance to prioritize excess municipal property for affordable housing. Our Executive Director Gretchen Van Ness's (@gvlaw.bsky.social) testimony starts at 1:37.
