HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Listings Project was born when artist, Founder / CEO Stephanie Diamond sent an email to friends asking for housing leads in 2003. It worked so well for her that she kept assembling listings week by week for others who also wanted to share spaces. Over time, she realized that the service was both a business and a social practice art project.

As the team grows and we collectively define the practice over time, its basic tenets have stayed the same: care for community enables each of us to thrive. Listings Project aims to be a support in the search process for housing and employment opportunities.

One of the things that makes Listings Project different from every other real estate or job listing site is how carefully we vet our listings. We vet and personally review each listing to make sure they meet our standards for equity and inclusion and we check for discriminatory or biased language. Our goal with vetting is to make sure that every listing you see is thoughtful, inclusive and personal.

Listings Project has built out corners of the internet and lived space where we can support each other, one-to-one, and as a group. This work has made us better contributors everywhere we find ourselves in the world — not just on Listings Project — and we hope the same is true for you. Thank you for everything you do to nurture Listings Project day in and day out.
