Housing insecurity is a critical issue within Southern Nevada. However, little is known about the housing-insecurity-related needs of LGBTQIA+ Southern Nevadans. The aim of this study was to identify strategies to address housing insecurity among this vulnerable community. Utilizing community-based participatory research and concept mapping, the most salient solutions were identified and prioritized at a Community Housing Forum. This Forum brought together stakeholders with expertise in housing or who work with the LGBTQIA+ community. The most important identified solutions consistently emphasized the criticality of culturally competent mental health services; the need for affordable housing options; and various social and environmental factors. There is a continued need for research and collaboration among organizations and providers to better serve LGBTQIA+ individuals experiencing housing insecurity. Additional research is needed to determine the efficacy of the identified solutions and to inform the development of context-specific and broadly applicable strategies to address housing insecurity within this community.

Objective: Measurement of health-related social needs (HRSNs) is complex. We sought to develop and validate computable phenotypes (CPs) using structured electronic health record (EHR) data for food insecurity, housing instability, financial insecurity, transportation barriers, and a composite-type measure of these, using human-defined rule-based and machine learning (ML) classifier approaches.
Materials And Methods: We collected HRSN surveys as the reference standard and obtained EHR data from 1550 patients in 3 health systems from 2 states.
