Last week, several members of our board got to take a sneak peak at the amazing progress being made at Equality Commons, Maine’s first affordable senior housing living community with services for LGBTQ+ older adults!

Take a look as the walls are being painted, doors are being hung, floors and cabinets are being installed … and so much more.

Things are looking good for us to open THIS SUMMER!
