@Cameo3 I'm very sorry to hear about your situation and hope you find a safe place to land. I hope you realize, though, it looks very suspicious that you've posted this message twice under two totally different user profiles.
https://airbnb.org offers emergency stays by invitation for specific scenarios - currently, they're available for refugees and asylum seekers fleeing war zones such as Ukraine, and for people impacted by natural disasters. You can view the eligibility requirements here. Unfortunately, there are a great many conditions that are personally disastrous which are not eligible for this program - including homelessness, which around 600,000 Americans are currently experiencing. At the end of the day, Airbnb is a for-profit corporation and not a housing-support charity.
Even though you're apprehensive about group shelters, I recommend that you make contact with the nearest organization that specializes in assisting survivors of family violence. Follow this link and call their hotline: https://www.myharmonyhouse.org/ Their advocates are well-trained to help people in your situation, and they can help you figure out your emergency housing options. Everyone is afraid of staying in a group shelter - literally, everyone - so your situation is much more normal than you might realize. But even if that turns out to be the only housing option they can offer (it may or may not be), they still have resources to support you that Airbnb does not.
@Melissa1798 I am so sorry to hear about your situation. Whatever you do, you must put yourself somewhere safe now. This is a community forum though and you will only get advice. You need to go to Airbnb.org they have partnered up with various charities. Find on their page the ‘partner charity’ which is relevant to your circumstances and contact them. Stay safe!
