DAVENPORT — A new LGBTQ community center in the Quad Cities is moving closer to finding permanent space in Davenport.
Clock Inc., previously known as Closet, Inc., seeks to provide a safe haven for both youth and adults in the Quad Cities’ LGBTQ.
Founder Chase Norris says he and several others are starting the center because the community “lacks a stable location and environment that has a large variety of resources to support the community.”
He noticed the lack of resources when he moved to the area for graduate school and met with multiple counseling groups. A female-to-male transgender person who grew up in a small homogeneous Illinois town, Norris felt uniquely qualified to make a difference in the Quad Cities.
The Center will offer adult and youth counseling, clothing drives, a library, and an enhanced space for people to express themselves with a complete support system to help them. Clock, Inc., will also reach beyond support and counseling for the LGBTQ community with educational groups for business professionals.
