The Bay Area Reporter Publishes Business Briefing on Furnished Quarters

(New York, NY) March 13, 2025 – Furnished Quarters, the largest independently owned and operated provider of global temporary housing, is proud to announce that The Bay Area Reporter recently published an illuminating article on Furnished Quarters that covered a multitude of topics. Most notably, the article, titled “Gay co-owned short-term rental company bullish on San Francisco market”, highlighted Furnished Quarters’ market outlook and growth in San Francisco, and how Furnished Quarters has positioned inclusivity and diversity, specifically for the LGBTQ+ community, as a core value present in all company operations.

When discussing both important topics, co-owners Gary Brown and Steven Brown both shared their thoughts. “We are seeing a comeback in San Francisco. A lot of companies are requiring back to work, that really does push up our business,” noted Gary Brown, who previously had lived in Granite Bay outside of Sacramento. “As that happens, business downtown will start to come back.”

It is an LGBTQ-certified company and takes pride in working with LGBTQ travelers or business professionals from around the globe. “Before we founded Furnished Quarters, I worked at Macy’s and had to be closeted. Even in some real estate things, I had to be closeted,” recalled Steven Brown. “I was just not going to live that way anymore. It was very important that as a company, we are welcoming to everybody.”

Furnished Quarters thanks The Bay Area Reporter for the opportunity to share its expertise and insights in the corporate housing industry.
