LGBTQ+ homestays, rooms, flatshares, community and travel in one platform
A community platform for LGBTQ+ people to find homes, roommates, community living, companionship, travel and trusted professionals, all in one place.
About this launch
Among Our People is a community platform designed for LGBTQ+ people at every stage of life. The platform brings together five key services: roommate matching and flatshares, intentional community living projects, companionship and local friend connections, travel accommodations with LGBTQ+ hosts, and a directory of verified LGBTQ+ professionals including therapists, doctors, lawyers and tradespeople.
The platform operates with zero commission on bookings—hosts keep everything guests pay. Members can verify their identity through document and selfie checks, and professionals can add credential badges reviewed by the team. All new listings are checked before going public to prevent scams and discrimination.
Among Our People serves people from their twenties through their seventies, addressing documented needs: 56% of LGBTQ+ Londoners over 50 would choose LGBTQ+ community living, while 19% of LGBTQ+ private renters reported discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. The platform is currently available primarily across the UK and Europe, with members and travel connections further afield.
