Living with Pride: Nelly’s House
Nelly’s House, a new initiative by the Living with Pride Foundation, is set to transform senior living for the LGBTQ2S++ community in Vancouver. This ~100-unit development is designed as a haven where LGBTQ2S++ seniors can enjoy a vibrant, supportive community environment, underscored by dignity and safety. Each unit prioritizes accessibility and integrates green technologies like solar panels and energy-efficient systems to ensure sustainable living. Beyond just housing, Nelly’s House will feature community kitchens, event spaces, and wellness services tailored to the unique needs of its residents. Inspired by successful models across North America, this project also establishes strong local partnerships to provide a comprehensive range of health, cultural, and social services. Nelly’s House is more than a residence; it's a community designed to diminish isolation and enrich lives, marking a significant advancement in inclusive senior living.
