About us
Airbnb.org is a nonprofit organization founded by Airbnb
that connects people to emergency housing in times of crisis.
It all started with a host
The idea came from Shell, an Airbnb host who offered her place for free to people impacted by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Since then, more than 60,000 Airbnb hosts have provided housing to more than 250,000 people around the world.
Our model is unique
Airbnb covers operating costs, so 100% of all public donations fund emergency housing for people in need.
