LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District

Community Meeting on our 3 Year Plan Centering Castro LGBTQ Needs
2022-03-03 17:00 - 18:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
Since July 2021, the Castro LGBTQ Cultural District (CQCD) has held listening sessions with various members of the Castro community to collect data for our Cultural History, Housing, and Economic Sustainability Strategies (CHHESS) Report.
This report is done in collaboration with the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development and is done in part to provide a long-term plan that preserves and centers LGBTQ culture in the Castro and in all of San Francisco. The report has 6 focus areas: Cultural Heritage Conversation, Tenant Protections, Arts & Culture, Economic & Workforce Development, Land Use & Housing, and Cultural Competency.
On March 3, 2022, at 5PM, the CQCD will hold a virtual community listening session where we will share key takeaways from the data that we have collected to date. This will be facilitated by Be The Change, a consultant group hired by the CQCD. Be the Change Consulting is a women of color owned and operated company from Oakland that specializes in equity & inclusion.
