Since 1998, the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center has been a home to the LGBT population of metro Milwaukee, providing culturally sensitive and competent educational, social, and health and wellness services that meet the needs of LGBT youth, adults and their allies. In 2009 alone, the Center, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, served approximately 8,000 individuals (a 33% increase from the previous year), housed six other LGBT organizations, and served as a meeting place for nine additional organizations.
