LOS ANGELES WILDFIRES
Help impacted communities
100% of your donation goes toward providing emergency housing.
Wildfires are causing devastation across Los Angeles. We're partnering with 211 LA to provide free, emergency housing to people who've been displaced and first responders. If you or someone you know needs support, fill out 211 LA's intake form.
Provide a place to stay
We connect survivors and first responders with emergency housing. You can offer a place to stay for free or at a discount through Airbnb.org.
How hosting works
- You’ll provide a comfortable bed and basic amenities for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Airbnb.org helps cover the cost so guests stay for free.
- Airbnb.org partners with government organizations and nonprofits that check guests for eligibility and assist them before, during, and after a stay.
- Airbnb waives all service fees for Airbnb.org stays. As always, Airbnb provides Hosts with AirCover.
Stays are completely free for guests.
Airbnb.org covers the cost and Airbnb waives its fees.
We're here to support your community.
FAQ
How do I access an Airbnb.org emergency stay?
Who can book a place through Airbnb.org?
People who have been affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles may be eligible to book an emergency stay through Airbnb.org—that includes people displaced and relief workers helping in an official capacity. Airbnb.org works with governmental entities and nonprofit partners to help determine eligibility. Learn more
Can I offer my home for full price on Airbnb for guests, and also offer it for free or a discount during emergencies through Airbnb.org?
Yes. You have one calendar, so guests won’t be able to double-book your space.
How will I know that the booking came from Airbnb.org?
Hosts are notified during the booking process when a reservation request is for an emergency stay through Airbnb.org.
What happens when a guest’s stay ends?
Airbnb.org guests are responsible for checking out at the agreed-upon time according to the reservation record. In the event of a missed checkout, Airbnb has a dedicated team of specialized support agents who will work with the guest to facilitate checkout.
I’m not an Airbnb host, but I want to offer my home following natural disasters. What should I do?
You can sign up to host exclusively through Airbnb.org, which means you’ll only host guests in need of emergency stays and you will offer your place for free. Your place will not be available for guests to book non-emergency stays.
