Multi-generational community-led LGBTQ+ housing in Leeds
Pride of Place Living will be located in Leeds and will be an exciting LGBTQ+ housing scheme.
With 70 units planned, this project will provide a multi-generational living environment. There will be a mix of different types of homes and tenures to suit the range of age and care related needs in the LGBTQ+ community. Moreover, we wish to provide housing for a number of LGBTQ+ families and for younger LGBTQ+ people at risk of homelessness.
The design of the housing project will focus on accessibility, adaptability and affordability.
By creating purpose-built multi-generational life-long housing we hope to create an environment that will encourage intergenerational peer-support and thus increase safety, and reduce loneliness and isolation.
