1st June 2025
June marks Pride Month – a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience, and contributions of LGBTQ+ communities across the world. At FHA, we proudly join in the celebration, recognising the vital role that LGBTQ+ tenants, professionals, and partner organisations play in shaping a fairer, more inclusive housing sector.
The housing sector is enriched by the lived experiences, leadership, and voices of LGBTQ+ people. From front-line services to strategic leadership, their contributions help drive innovation, challenge inequality, and promote inclusive, person-centred housing that responds to the needs of diverse communities.
At FHA, we are proud to serve a diverse range of tenants, and we understand that everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and at home, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Creating an inclusive environment is not an optional extra; it is essential to delivering excellent housing and care services.
Our Commitment to LGBTQ+ Inclusion
FHA is committed to championing equality, diversity, dignity, and respect for all. We are actively working to foster a workplace and community culture where difference is not only accepted, but celebrated. We support LGBTQ+ inclusion by:
- Providing safe, supportive housing for individuals of all backgrounds, ensuring homes are free from discrimination and bias.
- Promoting a workplace culture of respect, representation and allyship, where LGBTQ+ staff feel empowered to be their authentic selves.
- Partnering with inclusive organisations and service providers who share our values around equity, dignity, and access to opportunity.
- Encouraging tenant voice and participation in shaping services that reflect the rich diversity of our communities.
- Educating and equipping our teams through training and awareness to understand the unique challenges LGBTQ+ individuals may face in accessing or sustaining housing.
More Than a Month
While Pride Month provides an important opportunity for celebration and reflection, our commitment to LGBTQ+ equality is year-round. We believe in creating lasting change by embedding inclusivity into our policies, partnerships, and everyday practices.
As we celebrate Pride this June, we reaffirm our pledge to ensure FHA remains a place where everyone, regardless of identity, feels seen, valued, and safe. We stand in solidarity with LGBTQ+ communities across the UK and beyond and thank our tenants, colleagues, and partners who continue to make our sector stronger through their courage, contribution, and pride.
Happy Pride Month from all of us at FHA.
