I neen help with emergency temporary housing options through caring hosts in Springfield Missouri immediately please.

Secure a temporary very urgent housing solution for my current about to be homeless life situation. I have seen others comments in similar situations receive financial help through air bnb and kind hosts willing to open their listing to a person at risk like myself ... I am in urgent need of a emergency stay through your relief program immediately please. My safety could be at risk. There is an ad on your app that states air bnb helps with different emergencies such as fleeing abuse, and covid for examples. These are listed aside from the eligible relief, and disaster housing. Mine is an imminent need as I as of today have nowhere to go as I have to leave my toxic mentally abide living situations with my father. This has more aggressively hostile, and very manipulating house we have been residing in together the past * and a half years. No longer a viable option. I have nowhere to go, and am afraid of being around groups of people, so a shelter is unfortunately not an option. I am looking into permanent, stable housing options around Springfield Missouri, but need your hosts kind help for a little safe transitioning period. I have heard your company provide this service to others under my dire circumstances. Please get back ahold of me asap, and please let us get a resolution. My name is Cameo, and I am a female finally brave enough but not financially able victim of deep mental abuse ready to escape this nightmare situation. Thank you.

You did not yet indicate what AirBnB should do to make this right.

I have no other safe housing options at the time being. I will be out on the cold streets as of today, and I have never been in straits such as these before. O am afraid of groups of people so a shelter isn't a viable option for me. This is my last hope. Please help me

@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.
