Abstract
Background and objectives: LGBTQ+ older adults have heightened needs for affordable housing, given structural and systemic barriers and inequities across their lives. Little is known about affordable housing models for LGBTQ+ older adults.
Research design and methods: This study presents the first comprehensive review of LGBTQ+ affordable housing to date. It uses an innovative multimethod community-engaged approach that combines Arksey and O'Malley's five-step framework for scoping reviews with community-engaged data to answer the following community-driven research questions: What affordable housing models exist for LGBTQ+ older adults? How do these models address the diverse needs of LGBTQ+ older adults?
Results: Data revealed ten affordable housing models for LGBTQ+ older adults: affordable housing developments, naturally occurring retirement communities, cohousing, mobile communities, homesharing, community land trusts, accessory dwelling units, limited equity cooperative housing, restored multifamily and single-family homes, and tiny homes. Affordable housing developments dominated and tended to be overrepresented by white residents. Transgender and lesbian older adults and LGBTQ+ older adults of color often led projects that invoked nontraditional housing models.
Discussion and implications: While affordable housing developments for LGBTQ+ older adults are growing, different models may be needed to address the diverse needs of this community. Intersecting experiences of trauma, discrimination, and exclusion may be driving the need and desire among transgender older adults, older lesbians, and LGBTQ+ older adults of color to develop alternative affordable housing models. Understanding the diverse needs of housing for LGBTQ+ older adults will help policymakers, practitioners, and researchers better serve this diverse community.
期刊介绍：
The Gerontologist, published since 1961, is a bimonthly journal of The Gerontological Society of America that provides a multidisciplinary perspective on human aging by publishing research and analysis on applied social issues. It informs the broad community of disciplines and professions involved in understanding the aging process and providing care to older people. Articles should include a conceptual framework and testable hypotheses. Implications for policy or practice should be highlighted. The Gerontologist publishes quantitative and qualitative research and encourages manuscript submissions of various types including: research articles, intervention research, review articles, measurement articles, forums, and brief reports. Book and media reviews, International Spotlights, and award-winning lectures are commissioned by the editors.
