| Annotation | This paper aims to contribute to debates about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) housing later in life, by placing these in the theoretical context of social capital theory. After a discussion of social capital theory emanating from the works of Robert Putnam and Pierre Bourdieu, the paper draws on existing studies of LGBT housing later in life, identifying key concerns that have been observed in this body of literature. The paper then applies social capital theory to the themes drawn from the LGBT housing in later life literature, to illustrate the usefulness of putting these in such a theoretical context. The paper fills an important gap in how the authors think about LGBT housing later in life: as something that is framed by issues of social networks and connections and the benefits, or otherwise, that accrue from them.
