InReach is a trans-led 501(c)(3) tech nonprofit building the world’s first open source platform matching LGBTQ+ people facing persecution or discrimination with safe, verified resources.

The InReach App is available on web (desktop and mobile), and native iOS and Android. Over 9,000 services across North America are currently listed, with new verified services added every day by trained volunteers. InReach’s open-source technology instantly matches LGBTQ+ people in need with independently verified safe housing, medical and mental health care, immigration and other legal help, meal assistance, education and employment, translation, community and spiritual support, and more critical services. InReach is a comprehensive, digital one-stop-shop for all intersectional community needs, with listed verified services for LGBTQ+ asylum seekers, refugees and other immigrants, BIPOC communities, transgender folks, youth and caregivers, and more. The InReach App is free for everyone – including lawyers, case managers, social workers, and other service providers and community organizations searching for affirming resource referrals for LGBTQ+ clients. So far, over 400,000 people have used InReach to access safe, verified resources.

When InReach is at scale, every trans and queer person will have on-demand access to the safe, affirming resources they need to thrive.

App features include:

• Open Source – InReach is built for scale and local community input.
• Vetted Resources Only – Every service provider listed on InReach is independently vetted (and re-verified at least once every 6 months) to be affirming for the diverse LGBTQ+ community by trained volunteers.
• Safety First – We know online anonymity can be a life-or-death issue for LGBTQ+ people. That’s why our app is designed to protect users’ confidentiality and safety online.
• Localization (Translation) – As an open source platform, InReach uses crowdsourced translations. Real people verify (and edit as needed) our machine-generated translations to ensure accuracy, inclusivity and cultural competence.
• Holistic – InReach lists 15 categories of verified support, including trans focused services, legal help, safe housing, meal assistance, abortion care, mental health and medical care, translation and interpretation, community support, and more.
• Personalize Your Search – Users can easily filter out providers that require fees and specific documentation (e.g., photo ID, medical insurance, proof of age/income/residence, or a referral) to access.
• Leave Ratings and Reviews – Logged-in users can share public ratings (one to five stars) and reviews on all verified service providers’ profile pages.
• Suggest New Resources – Logged-in users can suggest new LGBTQ+ resources for inclusion in the app to InReach’s Resource Team.
• Save and Share Resources (Coming Soon) – Logged-in users can save and share their personalized resource list(s) via print/email.
• Sorting Search Results (Coming Soon) – Sort verified providers by LGBTQ+ community focus (e.g., sort verified providers by BIPOC and/or TGNC and/or immigrant providers first).
• Service Provider Features (Coming Soon) – Providers who register for a free user account and “claim” their organization’s profile page will gain access to a suite of free tools to showcase their services on InReach.
