Your input is needed to help ensure homeless LGBTQI2-S people community priority moving forward.
I expect you will receive this invitation from several sources. It is very important! We need your input!
The Homeless Coalition of Hillsborough County, Inc. with support from the Corporation for Supportive Housing is in the process of finalizing the plan for how our entire community will address homelessness over the next 10 years. Using what we have learned from the public meetings held June 5th and 6th, national and local subject matter experts will be discussing recommendations that will form the framework of the strategic plan to prevent and end homelessness in Hillsborough County. This document determines community policy and spending when addressing the causes of and solutions to homelessness.
As many of you know, the LGBTQI2-S (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex and Two-Spirit) community is over-represented in the homeless population. Up to 46% of all homeless youth identify as LGBTQI2-S and one in five transgender people will require housing assistance in their lifetime. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently updated their nondiscrimination policies to include protections for sexual orientation and gender identity. However, many communities are not prepared to respond to this community in a culturally competent manner.
As we rewrite the 10 Year Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness it will be critical to include inclusive language to ensure that all people who need help are able to receive it without fear of discrimination.
Please review the attached schedule and mark your calendar for July 23rd, 24th, 26th and 30th. Each of the topic areas to be discussed is of vital importance to ensuring our community offers EVERYONE the same level of care. Your attendance will make a difference!
Please distribute this notice widely as we need to demonstrate there is a commitment in this community to ending homelessness, especially among our youth.
Thank you for continuing to be an advocate for homeless unaccompanied youth.
In service,
Jeremiah Kerr, LGBTQI2-S Homeless Youth Coordinator

On the 30th anniversary of the release of “Mommie Dearest”, Hedda Lettuce, the beloved “Queen of Green,” is coming from New York to share her now-infamous talkback presentation of “Mommie Dearest.” You might think you already know this camp movie classic, but wait till you hear Hedda’s take on Joan Crawford, Faye Dunaway and “No wire hangers, ever!”
The audience is encouraged to talk back, too, shouting lines along with the characters and dressing up like Joan, Faye-as-Joan, or maybe even little Christina. Limited VIP tickets ($25) allow you to get up close with Lettuce after the show. Online ticket $10 or $12@ the door. In honor of the Queen of Green and the picky Ms. Crawford, please bring wire hangers to be recycled; if you do, you’ll get a free raffle ticket. Showtime is 8 p.m. This is a fundraiser for Friends of the Festival (TIGLFF) and is hosted by Todd Richardson.
