There’s always something blooming at Rainbow Homestead—whether it’s a community potluck, a garden workday, or a joyful celebration. Here’s what’s coming up!
From Pride celebrations to quiet reconnections, our summer was full of heart and healing. We took time in July to care for family, and in August, we returned to build new bridges in Genesee County. Catch up on our journey and see how every bottle, every booth, and every heartbeat is helping us raise the roof on hope and housing.
When housing fails those pushed to the margins, we plant something stronger: solidarity. In this reflection, Rainbow Homestead founder Raevyn shares a personal story of displacement, resistance, and how queer, multicultural communities are building homes where silence once lived.
From presenting at the UM–Flint Student Research Conference to welcoming new board members and preparing for Pride festivals, this season has been full of growth and connection.
Raevyn took the Stage at Delta College for two events centered on LGBTQ+ advocacy and storytelling - reminding us of the power of lived experience and community dialogue.
Raevyn's Induction into Phi Theta Kappa was more than an academic milestone - it was a celebration of resilience and a chance to share the mission of Rainbow Homestead Initiative with new hearts and minds.
A powerful conversation with Catherine Martinez of Child & Family Services of Saginaw, opened doors for collaboration and learning from grassroots organizations doing transformative work.
