Abstract
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) older adults experience housing-related barriers. Previous research has described residential challenges experienced by this population, but few studies have examined implementation of housing solutions. This exploratory study conducted 7 semistructured phone interviews with program directors and/or development managers from initiatives offering residential services to LGBT older adults. Qualitative analysis identified themes that characterize the implementation of housing solutions. Study results suggest that future residential solutions for LGBT older adults should consider housing in relation to other aging-related barriers and frame solutions that promote collaboration among community actors (e.g., residential and service providers).
