Abstract
Understanding the housing needs of non-heterosexual seniors will improve the delivery of social services to more than 3 million gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender seniors in the United States and aid in the development of new service-enriched housing models for the benefit of all service dependent populations. The feasibility and demand for non-heterosexually based senior housing and related services, however, has received negligible attention. This study is a first step and San Francisco is an ideal place to begin because of the community of non-heterosexual seniors, the City's housing market, the social service resources available to seniors, in general, and the social service delivery technology evolving in response to the AIDS crisis.
