The Mission of the Coalition for Aging LGBT:
Improve and protect the quality of life of older LGBT adults in North Texas through coordination and collaboration for health, housing, advocacy, financial security and social services.
About the Coalition for Aging LGBT:
The Coalition for Aging LGBT has been serving the aging LGBT community since 2015. Our mission promotes personal well-being, dignity and autonomy through the delivery of high quality, affordable and culturally competent home and community-based care from our affiliate organizations. We are working with involved LGBT and Aging Organizations (locally and nationally) to create comprehensive programs to address the unique needs of the LGBT Aging Community.
We serve the four largest counties of North Texas; Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, and Denton. It is estimated (through the assistance of the US Census data and further data analysis from The Williams Institute at UCLA), that the population of this 4- county area of lesbian and gay members age 45 and older is at 195,000 and will continue to rise in the next 10 years to right at 200,000.
The challenges facing the aging LGBT individuals are real, and will ultimately affect the vast majority of the LGBT community. We are taking immediate action to create programs and make cultural changes to insure the quality of life and dignity.

About Trans Kids and Families of Texas:
Trans Kids and Families of Texas is a 501(c)(3) created to support parents and their transgender children. Founded in 2015 with the launch of their charter project DFW Trans Kids and Families, the organization has grown to more than 500 parents and kids across the state of Texas.
What started out as a parental support and therapy group soon morphed into a larger local kids and family support and social group, or even more of an extended family. This is an open an accepting group of people that has become tight-knit through similar circumstances and enjoys spending time together. We have grown quite rapidly since the spring of 2015 and continue to see our numbers increase weekly.
Our many members are looking to make changes and help the world understand that transgender people are no different than anyone else. Creating education as well as friendship and community helps to strengthen our cause and make people realize that our families are just like theirs.
