Airbnb to provide free housing for 100,000 Ukrainian refugees
Airbnb, a home rental company, says it is offering free short-term housing to 100,000 Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian invasion of their country.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine entered Day 5 today with no signs of relentless despite efforts for diplomatic talks among the two countries.
Brian Chesky, chief executive officer of Airbnb, announced this in a series of tweets today.
Chesky said the housing would be funded by the company, donors to an Airbnb fund for refugees, and the generosity of other hosts offering their homes.
“Airbnb and Airbnb.org are working with our Hosts to house up to 100,000 refugees fleeing from Ukraine for free,” his tweet reads.
“We need help to meet this goal. The greatest need we have is for more people who can offer their homes in nearby countries, including Poland, Germany, Hungary and Romania. If you can host a refugee, go here: http://airbnb.org/get-involved.”
Chesky also urged people to donate to Airbnb.org for the housing support programme.
Airbnb.org is the company’s non-profit organisation that facilitates temporary stays for people in times of crisis.
