The free lodging is supported by Airbnb, Inc., donors to the Airbnb.org Refugee Fund, and Airbnb hosts themselves, according to a statementfrom the home-sharing company.
Airbnb.org is the nonprofit arm of the Airbnb company and is "dedicated to facilitating temporary stays for people in moments of crisis," the organization says. The nonprofit has worked in the past to provide free and discounted housing to those in crisis, including large groups of Afghan refugees. In 2021, the organization also created the Refugee Fund, a $25-million fundraising initiative to support resettlement for displaced people.
Airbnb hosts interested in helping refugees can register online. The company is also working with nonprofits and partners on the ground to coordinate temporary housing for more than 100,000 Ukrainians, according to Airbnb.
If you can't provide housing, you can still help: Donate to Airbnb's nonprofit here. You must have an Airbnb account, and donations can't be earmarked specifically for Ukrainian refugees at the moment.
