Openhouse, the nonprofit provider of LGBTQ senior services in San Francisco, has tapped housing expert Kathleen Sullivan, Ph.D., to be its new executive director.
The Portland, Oregon resident will be relocating to the city with her wife in order to start in the position July 19. Sullivan, 55, brings a wealth of experience in both LGBTQ political campaigns and affordable housing for LGBTQ older adults to the job.
A lesbian, she spent years working to defeat anti-LGBTQ ballot measures, first in Oregon then as a consultant to groups fighting against similar attacks on LGBTQ rights in other states during the early 2000s.
