Brian Chesky on X: "Starting today, Airbnb will begin housing 20,000 Afghan refugees globally for free."
While we will be paying for these stays, we could not do this without the generosity of our Hosts.
To make this happen, we are working closely with Airbnb.org, NGOs, and partners orgs on the ground to support the most pressing needs.
If you’re willing to host a refugee family, reach out and I’ll connect you with the right people here to make it happen!
The displacement and resettlement of Afghan refugees in the US and elsewhere is one of the biggest humanitarian crises of our time. We feel a responsibility to step up.
I hope this inspires other business leaders to do the same. There’s no time to waste.
Interesting priorities. We have 60,000 homeless American veterans.
