Why is it important?

LGBT people's housing concerns and experiences are drawing the attention of researchers, service providers and others, but it needs putting into a conceptual framework in order for us to fully make sense of them. This articles does that.

Perspectives

We wrote this publication to help us think more conceptually about older LGBT people's housing concerns. It was a way for us to make sense of these and hopefully help others with this as well.
