Airbnb.org Offers Free Housing to Those Displaced by Los Angeles Wildfires

Airbnb.org, the nonprofit arm of Airbnb, has launched an initiative to provide free temporary housing to individuals displaced by the Los Angeles wildfires. This effort is being carried out in collaboration with 211 LA, a local organization helping identify those in urgent need of shelter.

The initiative is funded by Airbnb.org and supported by many of the platform’s generous hosts who have offered their homes at no cost. Impacted residents can visit Airbnb.org to complete a request form for housing assistance.

Airbnb.org has a strong history of providing support during crises, having offered temporary housing for those affected by global disasters such as Hurricanes Helene and Milton, flooding in Brazil, and the earthquake in Japan’s Noto Peninsula.

This compassionate response underscores Airbnb.org’s commitment to aiding communities in times of need, providing vital support to those facing the devastating effects of natural disasters.
