Airbnb to offer free housing to 100,000 Ukrainian refugees

Airbnb has said it will offer free, temporary housing for up to 100,000 refugees from Ukraine, joining a swathe of companies offering support and donations following the Russian invasion. The cost of the stays will be covered by Airbnb, donors to its refugee fund, and hosts offering discounted or free accommodation.

The rental company’s CEO Brian Chesky has sent letters to the leaders of Poland, Romania, Germany, and Hungary offering help to those escaping the war.

The home rental platform explains: “We know that hosts and guests on Airbnb around the world will be eager to stand up and assist this massive effort to help those fleeing Ukraine. In the coming days, Airbnb and Airbnb.org will share additional details on how hosts and the broader community can support this initiative, including by offering free or discounted stays.”

This isn’t the first time Airbnb has helped refugees find a temporary home. Recently, the organisation announced that it has provided housing to 21,300 Afghan refugees and has set a new goal of providing free, temporary housing to another 20,000 refugees from Afghanistan, Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South America. Elsewhere, Airbnb also announced the creation of its Refugee Fund and has galvanised more than 4,000 donors to further support its work with refugees and asylum seekers worldwide.
