GenPride is excited to announce the official name for our collaborative project with Community Roots Housing to build LGBTQIA+ affirming affordable housing and a community center in the heart of Capitol Hill: Pride Place!

Thank you to Capitol Hill Seattle blog for highlighting Pride Place, as well as a number of other worthwhile housing projects happening around Seattle in their article: Welcome to Pride Place, Capitol Hill — Eight stories of LGBTQ-affirming affordable senior housing ready to rise above Broadway.

Our Executive Director, Steven Knipp, affirms: “the name is important because we are staking a claim in a historically LGBTQ+ neighborhood”.

GenPride and Community Roots Housing arrived at the name Pride Place as part of an ongoing, multi-year community advisory process with help from some of the city’s leading LGBTQIA+ focused community groups, including the LGBTQ Allyship, Gay City, GSBA, POCAAN, Seattle Counseling Services, Country Doctor/Carolyn Downs, Ingersoll Gender Centerand Aging with Pride.
