someone could share the info to make the application for host relief. I really depend on Airbnb income to pay my rent. So this week two of my future guests canceled. So now what? Only praying for all people in difficult situations!!!

All grant applications will be sent out to approved hosts at end of April. They will aim to send them all out by may 15th

There is no openly accessible application, you have to get an invite from airbnb.

I meet all of the eligibility criteria and have been checking back with support periodically to request the invite...with no luck. I was initially told "April 15". Then I was told "late April". Now I'm being told "May 15". Definitely going to write this off as a possibility. I think Airbnb needs to be more transparent about the process with such a big promise like this to Superhosts.

Its flawed anyway. Their criteria states that superhosts who have lost the most will be invited, but how would Airbnb know that the people who have lost the most are the most in need? If a host loses $3000 but genuinely relies on that money to pay the monthly bills they are in need just as much as a host, if not more,  who have lost $6000. Airbnb clearly favours the higher earners simply because they make the most money, Airbnb get more cash. It's so obvious its disturbing. 

Airbnb told me that eligible hosts will be asked how much in need they are, and whatever the hosts say Airbnb will believe. No host is going to say "nah, you keep it". Like I said, FLAWED.

Good morning.   Has anyone heard of anyone who has received an application for the Airbnb Superhost Relief fund?  I should be eligible accordingly to their guidelines and still have not received an application.  Still no answers after 6 lenghty phone calls to Airbnb.  I'm becoming more and more disappointed in Airbnb.  

Zero communication regarding this, even though I tend to think I am eligible and it’s already 26th of April today. Hoping Brian will update us on this in his April 28th live.

 

With that said, they allocated 17M for superhost relief, which means even if you’re getting $2500 out of $5000 max, there will be only 6800 hosts getting it. Some numbers on the internet suggest that there were 400k super hosts, as of 2018, maybe even more this days, which means only 2 out of 100 hosts will receive those money. Maybe more, if each gets significantly lower portion, so I wouldn’t count on it that much.
