Aging While LGBTQ+

By 2030, nearly 7 million people in the U.S. aged 50+ will identify as LGBTQ+ – and that number is rising as more people live openly and age into this group. LGBTQ+ elders often face higher rates of social isolation, discrimination, and economic insecurity – but they also embody resilience and strength. 

Our curated resources reflect this reality, offering support on housing, caregiving, HIV, health care, legal protections, financial planning, and more. No matter what aging looks like for you, we’re here with tools to help.

Key realities for LGBTQ+ older adults:

• Twice as likely to be single and live alone
• Four times less likely to have children
• More likely to face housing instability, poverty, and health disparities
• Far more likely to encounter social stigma or systemic discrimination
