In their own words
“I moved to Astoria not knowing a single person. Three Khooneh events later, I had a whole group texting me about weekend plans. It actually feels like home now.”
Sara K.
Member since July 2025
“I posted that I was between jobs and within a week someone in the community referred me for an interview. That kind of looking-out-for-each-other is rare.”
Kaveh M.
Member since September 2025
“Hosting through Khooneh feels safe — there's real verification behind the people showing up, not just a public event link floating around.”
Niloufar A.
Organizer, Literature Evenings
Trust & safety
A real community, kept safe
Because Khooneh is a real community and not an anonymous platform, we take verification and moderation seriously — for your safety and everyone else's.
- Identity verification for members who want a badge and access to community-only features.
- Admin-reviewed listings for organizers, professionals, and employers before they go live.
- Consent-based contact — your email and phone stay private unless you choose to share them.
