The Marie Equi Center “Founded in 2014 by Dr. Angela Carter & Katie Cox, The Marie Equi Center (formerly the Equi Institute) was established with a mission to empower & improve the health of LGBTQIA2S+ folks in the Pacific Northwest. Following the legacy of our namesake Dr. Marie Equi, The Marie Equi Center found our voice as a bold, radical, and unapologetically queer advocate for the communities we serve.”

• “You are welcome here, every aspect of you.” The Marie Equi Center, a day center focused on serving LGBTQIA2S+ community members who are low-income or experiencing homelessness, opened its doors last week.

  The Equi Institute's day center will provide one-on-one peer support, housing navigation, gender-affirming care referrals, recovery support, basic wound care, and a safe and welcoming space for LGBTQIA2S+ folks. It opened with support from the Joint Office of Homeless Services and funding from the Metro Supportive Housing Services measure.
