Today,
CenterLink and the Movement Advancement Project (MAP) released a comprehensive
report which details the critical services offered by LGBT community centers,
as well as a national overview of centers across the country. The 2012
LGBT Community Center Survey Report: Assessing the Capacity and Programs of
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Centers surveyed 79
LGBT community centers nationwide.
Despite
the slow economic recovery, LGBT Centers manage to provide vital resources to
1.7 million people annually. The report details the many ways in which
community centers are a lifeline in the LGBT community, offering a variety of
much-needed resources including Physical and Mental Health Programs,
Information and Education Programs, Legal Services and Programs, Social and
Recreational Programs, Community Outreach and Civic Engagement, Computer
Centers, and more.
I hope you take the time to read the full report, which is
available online at www.lgbtcenters.org
or www.lgbtmap.org.
Sincerely,
Terry
