It's not Kansas, or even Oz, but "There's No Place Like Home," a senior living facility designed to provide a place for LGBTQ residents of Houston, Texas, is a "one-of-a-kind project for Houston and any other red state."

ABC affiliate KTRK reports that the project, set to cost nearly $24 million, could break ground as early as next year. In the report, Kent Loftin, chief development officer for the Montrose Center, is quoted saying that "It will be the only center in Houston that is LGBTQ culturally competent. What that means is that seniors of the same sex can retire and age together."

The Montrose Center is an LGBTQ resource organization and is heading up "There's No Place Like Home," which is planned to have 112 units. The retirement facility is also set to include traditional retirement home amenities and an activity center.
