Thank you to everyone for their continued support of Airbnb.org! The generosity of Hosts and donors helps drive the mission to provide free, emergency housing to people in times of crisis.
Since Airbnb.org launched in December 2020:
- Nearly 77,000 Hosts have signed up to provide free or discounted Airbnb.org stays
- More than 220,000 guests have been connected to free, temporary housing
- Hosts have contributed $5 million USD in recurring donations*
Airbnb.org is a nonprofit organization that operates independently of Airbnb. The inspiration for Airbnb.org began more than a decade ago, when a Host named Shell opened her Brooklyn home to people impacted by Hurricane Sandy. Today, thousands of Hosts are helping respond to crises around the world, including the wildfires in Maui and the earthquakes in Syria and Türkiye in 2023.
