The Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce & GALLA presents its monthly networking program tailored for attorneys, judges and legal professionals sponsored by Kaufman Rossin. A panel of distinguished guests will discuss the topic of "Affordable Housing & The LGBT Community".
The focus of the presentation will be the lack of affordable housing for the aging LGBT population, which is a growing concern that deserves more attention locally and across the United States. The discussion will include what the legal community, non-profits, and other organizations need to consider, particularly, the legal, cultural and institutional challenges that keep older LGBT persons from aging with dignity. 1 CLE (General and / or Bias Elimination) will be provided. Limited to 75 people. RSVP Today! Open to the public.Guest Panelists
