AAG Rapid Evidence Assessment LGBTI Ageing Research on Housing Needs and Preferences

This paper forms part of a larger LGBTI Elder Housing Project, led by Housing for the Aged Action Group (HAAG), in collaboration with a steering committee group of LGBTI organisations, including AAG. The project's aims were to develop recommendations for policy improvements based on an analysis of available LGBTI ageing research on housing needs and preferences; and the identification of any key gaps in the evidence base.

In October 2019, AAG published a scoping review of LGBTI Ageing Research. Key learnings related to:

- Lack of availability of LGBTI housing
- Discrimination around housing
- LGBTI housing preferences
- Affordability of housing
- LGBTI housing needs
- Intersectional issues
- Gaps in the evidence base.

Based on the results and learnings, AAG makes 15 policy recommendations in this paper about housing for older LGBTI people in Australia.
