DC has the highest per-capita LGBTQ+ population of any state, with 9.6 percent of the population identifying as LGBTQ+. The DC LGBTQ+ Community Center is a trusted, affirming hub for LGBTQ+ DC community members, supporting, connecting, celebrating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people through health, wellness, safety, basic needs, cultural, and community programs. Services include behavioral health support, case management, and more than 20 peer support groups, alongside harm reduction and sexual health resources. The Center meets basic needs through food and clothing support, showers, laundry, mail services, and lockers, and connects people to trusted referrals and aging programs. Through art events, workshops, and performances, individuals tell their stories and celebrate their community’s vibrant creativity — fostering spaces where LGBTQ+ people feel healthy, safe, and affirmed.
