They fought for equal rights. Now their future is uncertain. For seven gay and lesbian seniors, it may be their only hope. What does it mean to be a gay senior citizen trying to survive on limited resources in America? A Place to Live explores this issue by chronicling the development and construction of Triangle Square Hollywood, the country's first affordable housing facility for LGBT seniors. A Place to Live accompanies seven individuals as they attempt to secure a home in Triangle Square. Since demand far exceeded the number of available units, a lottery system was established to select who would live in the complex – not everyone would be chosen. A Place to Live is both a moving portrait of gay and lesbian seniors on the fringe of their community and the triumphant opening of this historic building.
