Providers to know in Texas

Houston, TX
The Law Harrington Senior Living Center is LGBTQIA+-affirming affordable independent living in Houston, operated by the Montrose Center. The center describes it as a place to age with dignity and pride in a safe, stable and accepting community. Apartments are one and two bedrooms, and rents are adjusted according to area median income, so eligibility is by household income rather than by identity. Residents must be 62 or over. What sets it apart from most affordable senior housing is what sits inside the building. Residents have access to a geriatric primary care clinic, social services, a fitness center, a business center and a dog park, which means the affirming part of the offer extends into health care rather than stopping at the front door. Contact the leasing manager for current rents, income limits and availability, none of which are published.
