Housing Provider Workshop: LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Practices

The Rainbow Project invites housing and homelessness providers from across Northern Ireland for a workshop exploring how the sector can develop LGBTQIA+ inclusion in service delivery. The session will facilitate discussions for housing providers to reflect on current approaches, share sector expertise and consider practical strategies to develop LGBTQIA+ inclusive practices.

The workshop will be an opportunity to share experiences, barriers and needs with providers across the sector and to share what support and preparation housing providers need in developing LGBTQIA+ inclusive practices. Engagement in the workshop will  inform  recommendations for a research project conducted by The Rainbow Project on LGBTQIA+ inclusion within the housing and homelessness sector in Northern Ireland, titled: Exploring Inclusive Housing Solutions for LGBTQIA+ People Facing Homelessness in Northern Ireland.

Who can attend

We invite participation from managers, frontline staff and staff working in policy, research or strategy roles working in the housing or homelessness sector. We welcome organisations of varying levels of experience in supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals.

Participation

Places are limited so we ask that 1-2 people per organisation participate. If you register but are no longer able to attend, please cancel your ticket so the place can be offered to another organisation. If you would like to learn more information about the project, or your organisation cannot attend but would like to contribute to the research, please contact:
