At The Balfour Place we support all kinds of families. We are sensitive about difference, culture, gender, and ethnicity. We understand that though people are more alike than they are different, we live in a world where people are dealing with different experiences, legacies, traumas and staminas. This because of race, gender, ability and all our overlapping intersections.
We believe that people have everything they need inside of themselves to grow and be healthy. And that all people are deserving of access to fundamental human rights as a baseline. We want to help support you to be on your path from the basics, to living and loving your best life.

Intersectionality theory is a qualitative and analytical framework that acknowledges how our combined identities create different modes of discrimination and privilege. And identifies the power in each of these systems, taking these relationships into account when working to promote social and political equity. Examples of intersectionality that have interplay may include: sex, race, gender, caste, class, religion, sexuality, differing ability, physical appearance etc. Intersectionality is societally based in that it acknowledges these multiple factors of advantage and disadvantage. These overlapping social identities can be empowering and/or oppressing and contribute to that persons experience. At Balfour Place, we do not believe anyone’s experience can be examined without taking into account an individuals intersectional identity, the societal caste system, and the power dynamics that person lives with. An intersectional analysis will consider all the factors that apply to that person in combination. We see people. Balfour Place is is a business that is both Black owned and by and for people who define themselves as intersectional. The people you will meet here also cross those cultures and experiences,
