LGBT Health and Human Services Network
The newest project of EQCAI, the LGBT Health and Human Services Network is a statewide coalition composed of LGBT and allied organizations that provide non-HIV health and human services to LGBT Californians and their families.
The Network focus is on state level policy issues that impact health and human services for LGBT people in California. Our primary goals are to prioritize the health policy issues impacting the LGBT community, to connect existing organizations with statewide funding sources that have not necessarily been directed toward LGBT communities in the past, and to build the capacity of our LGBT health and human service organizations. In addition to advocating for funding, the Network also works to improve the cultural competency of state agencies that serve or interact with LGBT communities in the provision of state health or human services.
Join the Network
Be a part of the growing movement for LGBT health.
The Network seeks statewide members that:
- Are LGBT-specific or supportive organizations
- Provide non-HIV health and human services
- Are committed to an inclusive and broad vision of LGBT health
- Serve rural, urban and underserved populations, such as youth, seniors, communities of color, and low-income and transgender individuals
- Can devote 1-2 hours per month for Network activities
As members of the Network, organizations strengthen their capacity to advocate for LGBT health and human services needs at the state level. Members have the opportunity to meet with and educate key policy makers about LGBT health needs, exchange information and coordinate strategies with partner organizations, and receive information and guidance about available statewide funding opportunities that can support their work.
