Regnbågen is a housing project for LGBT seniors. Regnbågen is a cooperative housing rental association, founded 2009 in Stockholm. It was initiated by a small group of people who were able to convince politicians and various infuential networks about the importance of creating a viable and secure housing for lgbt seniors 55+.
2012 a formal agreement was reached with Micasa Fastigheter, a property managing company owned by the Stockholm City Council and responsible for housing and care for seniors with different needs.
In an eight storey building we are occupying 28 apartments of various sizes on three levels. The tenants have access to a common flat equipped with a kitchen and a roomy space used for common activities. On the roof there is a terrace with flower arrangements and garden furniture and a spectacular view overlooking the inlet waters to Stockholm.
In the property there is a hairdresser, foot therapist and adjacent a primary health clinic. A spacious restaurant with an open air seating is located on the ground floor. The location at Sandhamnsgatan 6 is quite close to the city center with public transport via metro and bus.
Presently Regnbågen has about 360 members, only 28 of these are already tenants and the rest are queuing to get an apartment. In 2025 another housing for LGBT seniors opened in a suburb to Stockholm, Regnbågsdalen. It has 18 apartments. So, there is a great need for more apartments in Stockholm for LGBT seniors.
