A Key Determinant of Health: Meeting the Housing Needs of older LGBTQ2S+ Canadians

(This is an edited version. Original available at • A Key Determinant of H... )
The purpose of this panel discussion is to situate the housing issues facing older LGBTQ2S+ populations in the national policy debate currently underway in light of the recently released Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation National Housing Strategy. Given the dearth of data on the needs of older LGBTQ2S+ Canadians, our team is conducting a 1-year Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) grant to uncover the specific policy and programming gaps and needs of older LGBTQ2S+ Canadians using a 3-phase process:
1. A scoping review of existing housing policies,
2. An online survey of key policy considerations
3. In-person consultations in 5 Canadian cities.
