The City of Richmond, VA Government has launched its first LGBTQ+ Community Survey to gather anonymous feedback from LGBTQ+ residents about their experiences, needs, and priorities, helping guide future policies, services, partnerships, and staff training.

Led by the Office of Equity & Inclusion, the survey supports the city’s commitment to building more inclusive and responsive communities through resident-driven data and engagement.

City leaders and community advocates say the effort marks an important step toward ensuring LGBTQ+ Richmonders feel safe, supported, and represented.
