Superhost Relief Fund

I am a Superhost from Nairobi and I must say Corona has been tough on me and also  a key learning point to everything that I need to tweak and adjust around my airbnb listings.

The Superhost relief grant looks like a great opportunity but my big question is will they only be focusing on American Superhosts or will the whole world of Superhosts have an equal opportunity to be selected.

Hiya @Wangechi1 ,

 

Thanks for your question, I want to really emphasise that this is a global relief fund, not US specifically. I've got some more in-depth information on the fund in general and some details on the geography:

 

How do invites work?

 

We started sending out invites in mid-April and we will be sending them weekly through Mid-May to eligible hosts around the world. We’re prioritising invitations based on a number of factors, including how long people have been a Superhost and how significantly their earnings have been impacted due to COVID-19. That means, most invitations so far have gone to people who have been Superhosts for 4+ years. All invites will be sent by mid-May, and if you’re invited to apply, you’ll get an email with a link to the application. 

 

A specialised team is reviewing every application and keeping hosts' information discreet. Everyone who applies will get a response within 2 weeks, and grants will range from $1,000 to $5,000.

 

Geographic distribution of invitees

 

We send a wave of invitations every week, and each wave includes hosts from around the world. What those hosts all have in common is that they meet our invitation criteria. So far 65% of the hosts we've invited are outside the United States.

 

Do let me know if you have any other questions. 

 

Thanks,

 

Stephanie
