Senior Rainbow Assistance Program

The Senior Rainbow Assistance Program was founded in 2019 to focus on the senior LGBTQ community in Illinois. We are women founded, volunteer-based organization that has a passion for working with seniors and contributing positively to society. Our vision is to provide LGBTQ seniors with the support they need to remain safe, warm, and healthy at a time of most need. LGBTQ seniors who are experiencing temporary hardships due to medical or financial concerns may need to decide between paying for medications or for their daily basic necessities. Senior Rainbow wants to help ease this choice by providing temporary assistance for basic needs such as utilities, groceries, or housing. Our applicants are generally over 55 years old and identify as LGBTQ. We have partnered with organizations such as HOME and the Center on Halsted to help LGBTQ seniors to maintain their current living arrangements and stay safe, warm, and healthy.
