RobertA Word From... Boo Chief Executive Officer On behalf of the Board of Directors, Staff and Volunteers, I am pleased to welcome you to the Eleventh Annual Active Aging Health Expo (VIRTUAL EDITION). 2020 certainly has proven a challenging year, and we feel so thankful for your continued support of The Pride Center and active agers in our community. When you support The Pride Center—especially amidst the individual and collective experiences of loss, anxiety, injustice, civil unrest, grief and dis-ease we’ve faced this year—you ensure we continue to provide a welcoming, safe space—an inclusive home that celebrates, nurtures and empowers the LGBTQ+ communities and our friends and neighbors in South Florida. The Residences at Equality Park is finally a reality. The Residences represents an affordable and supportive housing community comprised of 48 apartments and is the culmination of a multi-year process of community assessment and strategic planning in which we’re responding to direct, community-requested, prioritized need. We started this journey in 2012. Eight years later, our community now can celebrate this exciting milestone. Even through the pandemic, we remain passionate and excited about meeting the needs of the community. The Residences at Equality Park represents South Florida’s first LGBTQ+ friendly affordable housing with customized supportive services for active agers. We already provide a safety-net of services on this campus for local Seniors. The Residences, coupled with The Center’s growing active aging programming, gives residents a permanent, safe place to live and support services they need to age in place. When we opened up the apartment rental application process in June, we received over 1,500 applications! It was the most that our developer, Carrfour, ever had received in their 27-year history. The Pride Center is a vibrant part of this community that provides lifesaving programs and services to South Florida. In my 14+ years of service at The Center, we’ve never had a year where we haven’t adapted, evolved and shifted how we provide services. This year has not been an exception and has pushed our entire team to adapt and evolve to best serve the needs of our community during these very isolating times. Thank you for participating in this year’s Active Aging Health Expo and for supporting your Pride Center.
