Airbnb is launching an initiative to help provide housing for people responding to the Covid-19 pandemic and other emergencies.
SAN FRANCISCOซ Airbnb has created a non-profit aimed at helping emergency response workers find lodging in times of crisis, like now with the pandemic.
The new Airbnb.org was announced Monday as a partnership with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE) to support housing for workers and volunteers fighting the Covid-19 crisis and other kinds of emergencies.
“Founding and supporting Airbnb.org allows us to double down on our efforts to help communities in need across the world in coordination with our partners,” said Joe Gebbia, a co-founder of Airbnb and chairman of Airbnb.org.
