The Pacific Northwest has officially opened its first affordable and inclusive housing and community center for LGBTQIA+ older adults. Pride Place, a collaboration between Community Roots Housing and GenPride, offers seven stories of new affordable housing in the heart of Capitol Hill. The property includes retail space and a 4,400-square-foot senior community center.
