Who is eligible for emergency stays through Airbnb.org
Airbnb.org offers free or discounted temporary housing for people displaced by humanitarian crises. To do this, Airbnb.org works with nonprofit organisations and resettlement agencies that connect people to temporary housing, resources and specialised support in times of crisis. We also provide access to free and discounted housing offered by the Airbnb Host community.
Airbnb.org doesn’t currently provide a direct intake process for individuals. Airbnb.org doesn’t currently accept requests for funding from organisations. We share information about our upcoming grant cycle directly with eligible nonprofits.
After we verify eligibility of a nonprofit organisation, referral organisation or service provider, guests may also be required to set up an Airbnb account, which may include identity verification checks.
Individuals who are eligible for our programme may include:
- People affected by major disasters, including relief workers responding to those disasters in an official capacity
- Refugees, asylum seekers and other newcomers.
All guests and Hosts who use the Airbnb platform to support Airbnb.org or utilise Airbnb.org’s programmes must agree to Airbnb’s Community Standards and the Airbnb Terms of Service. Learn more about Airbnb’s trust and safety standards and policies.
