Hiya @Francis93 and @László3 ,
Thanks for the additional questions. I have a bit more info on eligbility:
How are you deciding what hosts have been hit the hardest?
We know that this type of information is complex and sensitive—that’s why we’ve put together specific criteria to make it more objective. We start by looking at hosts’ earning trends to invite those whose earnings have decreased the most when compared to last year and who have had a long tenure as Superhosts. Then we use hosts’ responses in their applications to better understand how that decrease has affected their ability to make ends meet.
Will all Superhosts be able to apply?
There are hundreds of thousands of Superhosts around the world. While everyone in our community is feeling the impact of COVID-19, we are using this fund to offer meaningful aid to some of the Superhosts whose earnings have been hit hardest.
That means not all eligible Superhosts will be invited to apply for a relief grant. We’ll prioritise invitations based on Superhost tenure, and award relief grants to hosts that demonstrate the most urgent financial need.
I know this last piece is a hard pill to swallow and we aim to ensure we can get the grant to as many superhosts as possible.
Thanks
