Law Harrington FAQs
WHAT IS THE LAW HARRINGTON SENIOR LIVING CENTER?
The Center at 2222 Cleburne Street is an affordable, LGBTQ-affirming senior living center that will feature 112 one- and two-bedroom independent living apartments for low-income individuals and couples who are 62 years and older. Additional features of the property will include: a social services department managed by the Montrose Center, geriatric primary care clinic provided by Legacy Community Health, a group dining area, meeting and game rooms, a fitness center, dog park, and outdoor recreational spaces.
WHAT DOES LGBTQ-AFFIRMING MEAN?
LGBTQ seniors are twice as likely to age in social isolation and 4 times less likely to have the money needed for retirement in comparison to their heterosexual peers. Add to this, the lack of city- or state-wide protections for the LGBTQ community against housing discrimination and the lack of affordable living options for LGBTQ seniors highlights the need for a place for seniors to age with dignity and pride in a stable, safe and accepting community. The Law Harrington Senior Living Center is open to all seniors who meet the income guidelines, but will have specific services and programming for LGBTQ seniors and senior’s living with HIV.
WHO CAN LIVE THERE?

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO LIVE THERE?

- 24 units at 30% AMI
- 45 units at 50% AMI
