Pride Intergenerational Housing
The Pride Intergenerational Housing Pilot Project is designed specifically for the LGBTI community, connecting older LGBTI people with a spare room and LGBTIQA+ students seeking accommodation, for mutually beneficial housing arrangements.
Do you have a SPARE room in your home to provide a LGBTIQA+ student with safe and affordable accommodation?
Or are you an LGBTIQA+ student seeking safe and accepting accommodation?
The project includes a GRAI program coordinator, who will assess referrals, match participants and provide ongoing support.
The pilot aims to keep older LGBTI people in their own homes for longer and reduce their social isolation and loneliness.
The provision of secure, affordable housing to LGBTIQA+ students can provide the opportunity to connect with and learn from older LGBTI people.
Increased intergenerational connections between younger LGBTIQA+ people and older LGBTI people benefits both parties.

We are blessed to live on Whadjuk Noongar Country. We acknowledge that Noongar people remain the custodians of their Country, and that they continue to practice their values, languages, cultures, beliefs and knowledge. We pay our respects to the Elders and knowledge holders of the Country on which we live, work, love and travel.
GRAI honours the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex pioneers and respects the full diversity of our communities. We recognise the prejudice and trauma many experience and celebrate our strength and perseverance. The terms Sistergirl and Brotherboy acknowledges our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trans women and trans men.
A note on terminology: GRAI uses the initialism LGBTI to refer to older people (50+) of diverse genders, sexualities and sex characteristics, as this reflects their lived experience and recognises that some terms like ‘queer’ were used as a slur when they were younger. GRAI recognises that the initialism does not capture the full diversity of sexualities, bodies, identities, and experiences that exist within our community, however we also recognise the value of the term LGBTI when exploring collective experiences of stigma, discrimination, and marginalisation, and when advocating for LGBTI rights and inclusivity for older people. GRAI uses LGBTQIA+SB when referring to a First Nations cohorts and also uses LGBTQIA+/LGBTQI+ when citing Government documents to align with their terminology.
