After many years of serving Racine and Kenosha Counties, the LGBT Center of SE Wisconsin has begun the process of closing its doors. This decision was not made lightly. It follows a thorough evaluation of our ability to sustain services in a changing landscape.

Throughout our work, we’ve witnessed the resilience, strength, and humanity of the people we serve. We’re proud of what’s been accomplished together – lives supported, crises averted, and futures stabilized. However, like many community-based nonprofits, maintaining operations over time has required tough choices. While we’ve explored partnerships, internal adjustments, and alternative solutions, ongoing challenges have made continued service delivery unsustainable.

We understand this news has been difficult. The heart of our mission has always been the well-being of this community. We are deeply grateful to our staff, volunteers, supporters, and, above all, the people who trusted us in their time of need. It has been an honor to serve.  We are collaborating with local organizations and established, proven leaders to develop solutions that will continue to support our LGBTQIA+ community in SE Wisconsin and transition services to trusted partners. Additional resources and details will be shared on our website as they become available.
