PA LGBTQIA+ Health Conference in Erie, Housing Request

For the past 3 years, the PA LGBTQIA+ Health Conference has been held in Cranberry PA. The advisory committee has decided to move the conference around the commonwealth, and this year's conference will be at the Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel on June 2 & 3! The event features informative presentations, panel discussions, and more about health issues affecting LGBTQIA+ people.

Because some people attending the conference from other parts of the state might have cost barriers to staying at the host hotel, or might want to make connections with the local community, the advisory committee is requesting volunteers in Erie who would be willing to host a person (or more) that will be attending next June. You can specify the maximum number of guests and other considerations/restrictions (gender, non-smoking, whether you have pets, etc.) and we will help match you with a mutually agreeable guest.

This effort being organized to reduce travel barriers for conference attendees. Housing is being organized and provided by local community members, and does not involve any of the agencies who are organizing the conference.

To volunteer as a housing host for 1 or more conference attendees, please contact Mike Mahler at info@eriegaynews.com or 814-456-9833. For other conference-related questions, please contact Sarah Morgan at smorgan@eriecountypa.gov or 814-451-7857.

Thanks for helping to show what a warm and friendly city Erie is!
