Hi everyone,I’m wondering if anyone else has had similar issues with verifying their property address. On July 4th, I created...
I too hope this will happen.
@Lynn248 It's a helpful idea. But there's no need to wait for Airbnb to co-ordinate something like this. Just contact your local hospitals, ambulance services, nursing centers and other such entities and let them know you have accomodation available.
Yes, I agree, but if Airbnb put out one press release then both hosts and first responders would hear about it quickly. It would be nice if it could become a thing, if you know what I mean. (And most hospitals are already too busy to take this kind of call right now.)
Great idea, @Lynn248! I was thinking of something along these lines myself, as I'm located within a block of our local hospital. Maybe this can be organized by ABB through the "Open Homes" program?
Hello @Lynn248
Many of us in the UK are already offering free/cost price accommodation to our NHS staff and emergency services.
Why not contact your local hospitals. I am sure they would be delighted to hear from you.
Hiya @Lynn248 ,
We've just announced this initiative that might be just what you're looking for: Providing housing for Covid-19 first responders
Thanks,
Stephanie
I setup my home to be part of the program for COVID-19 first responders but the "offer at a discount" option doesn't seem to be working. It won't let me edit the % discount field even though it looks like it was intended for me to be able to do so. I think this is a bug in the newly rolled out page. Is anyone else experiencing this? I want to offer a huge discount to first responders and it says I'm in the program but offering at my normal rates. Editing the section of my listing still won't let me change this. Help?
Hi @Lynn248 , where in LA County is your property? My husband is in law enforcement.. and my sister is a critical care nurse at Harbor UCLA Medical Center. I would love to find out more info on your property.... I am trying to find rooms for both my husband and my sister since they both work in LA County... but the airbnb website seems to be down/not working at all. I happened to find this conversation thread on google.... Please message me.... thanks!
My property is in Topanga. Let me know if that could work for you and I'll send the link. (Now with no traffic, Topanga is easier to get to...)

We opted in, no ability to discount, and not even a single inquiry. So, maybe as I suspected Jersey City is not in need of importing health care professionals or possibly the program isn't yet working too well. I'm not in a position to offer lodging for free though.
I haven't seen this in the news. I feel like Airbnb could be doing a better job of promoting it. And yes, there's definitely a glitch re the discount.
