The Michigan LGBTQ+ Elders Network (MiGen) is Michigan’s only community-based organization dedicated to LGBTQ+ adults aged 45+ and those who love and care for them. We champion the right to Age Out Loud, believing every LGBTQ+ person deserves to live authentically at any age, with access to safe spaces, essential support, and meaningful social connections. Through direct programs and services, we support LGBTQ+ older adults and their caregivers in areas like housing, healthcare, food, and benefits, while also offering training and education to organizations serving aging adults to help make aging spaces more culturally competent and inclusive. MiGen is a trusted leader in LGBTQ+ aging, ensuring no one faces the challenges of aging alone.
At the heart of MiGen are our shared values of authenticity, mutual well-being, and belonging. These principles guide our work, both internally and externally, ensuring LGBTQ+ older adults are supported, respected, and able to age with dignity.
