Voices of Pride:
An LGBTQ+ Needs Assessment
Capturing a snapshot of the LGBTQ+ community’s unmet needs in the Kansas City Metro Area
About The Project
Why?
LGBTQ+ people are found in every community, every workplace, and in every demographic group. Understanding and responding to this diverse community’s needs has been a key focus for many, including the Kansas City and the Pride Charitable Fund of Kansas City.
What?
The Kansas City Voices of Pride Project is an effort to capture a snapshot of the LGBTQ+ community’s unmet needs. This project involved conducting a needs assessment through 8 months of data collection efforts, involving both qualitative and quantitative data from community members, leaders, and advocates.
What’s Next?
These results will serve as a starting point for city leaders and officials to better understand and address current unmet needs. Additionally, the report will serve as a tool for community organizations and leaders to use to further their mission to improve community members’ quality of life as well as access to basic needs and services.
Funding for the Voices of Pride project was made possible by
Rebuild KC Neighborhood Grants and the Pride Charitable Fund
