Housing
In April 2008, openhouse received permission from the City of San Francisco to build at least 88 units of affordable housing with support services that will be welcoming to LGBT seniors at 55 Laguna Street.

Services
openhouse is changing the culture of long term care by training service providers to create welcoming, safe and secure environments for the LGBT clients they serve.

Community
Through community organizing, special events, and neighborhood gatherings, openhouse is fostering the development of intentional LGBT senior communities so that members can support one another as they age.
