Sydney Kopp-Richardson

Sydney is working to reshape the housing landscape nationally and increase the availability of safer LGBTQ+ affirming elder housing through public education, advocacy, and housing development. Previously, Sydney worked in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City in direct service, organizing and advocacy, and policy analysis around affordable housing development. Sydney brings a reverence for the expertise and legacies of LGBTQ+ elders in the formation of policies and programming developed to serve them in the fight for collective liberation, and she brings this to SAGE’s national housing work.
