Capital Campaign Launch May 27, 2014 At a press conference held on the future site of the Campus, the Center launches the most ambitious fundraising campaign in the history of the LGBT movement. “My grandparents taught us that ‘family values’ mean you give back to your community. If you can give, you must give. And because the Center has an unmatched record of effective programs to help make the world a better place for LGBT people, this isn’t just a gift, it’s a solid investment in the entire community’s future. I’m especially proud to support their innovative approach of combining services for youth and seniors on one campus. They’ve seen the great synergies that this can create.”

Los Angeles City Council Unanimously Approves Campus Project December 7, 2016 The vote cleared the way for construction to begin on the project. "I am incredibly proud to support the Los Angeles LGBT Center's Anita May Rosenstein Campus project. Over the last year, the Center has worked closely with my office and the adjacent residential community to develop the best possible project for this area. This new campus will play a critical role in combating our city's homeless crisis. Having worked on homeless strategies and social services for over 10 years, I know the Center will impact even more lives because of this project. Angelenos owe a debt of gratitude to the Center for their life-saving work.”
