100,000 people fleeing Ukraine have found temporary housing thanks to Hosts
Six months after announcing a commitment to offer free, short-term housing to up to 100,000 refugees fleeing Ukraine, Airbnb.org has met this goal thanks to a global outpouring of support from Hosts, donors, and the humanitarian organizations helping people on the ground. Since February, more than 40,000 new Hosts have opted-in to offer free or discounted emergency stays through Airbnb.org.

“At the heart of Airbnb.org is the incredible community of Hosts who time and again demonstrate their generosity by opening their homes to people in need,” said Catherine Powell, Airbnb’s Global Head of Hosting. “We are also immensely grateful to our Hosts and for the tireless work of organizations whose partnership with Airbnb.org helped connect tens of thousands fleeing Ukraine to a temporary place to call home.”

Airbnb.org welcomes over 50,000 refugees of the Ukraine crisis
Today, on World Refugee Day, Airbnb.org announced that it has provided free, temporary stays to more than 50,000 refugees fleeing Ukraine—half of the 100,000-person commitment made in late February.

This work was made possible by Airbnb.org’s network of over 40 nonprofit partners and other supporting organizations, thousands of donors, and our global community of Hosts—including more than 48,000 Hosts across 160 countries who signed up to welcome guests at no cost or at a discount through Airbnb.org.

As the conflict in Ukraine continues, Airbnb.org is now expanding its partnerships to include nonprofits in the U.S. and Canada, and is seeking Hosts in these countries to provide temporary stays for newcomers arriving from Ukraine.

Update on Airbnb.org’s work to support refugees fleeing Ukraine
Airbnb.org is coordinating directly with the U.S. federal government following President Biden’s announcement that the U.S. will welcome up to 100,000 refugees fleeing Ukraine. Airbnb.org is ready to support by funding and facilitating free, temporary housing to refugees who may arrive in the U.S. in the coming months.

Companies like Levi Strauss & Co. are also mobilizing their employees across Europe to share homes with refugees through Airbnb.org, and are offering potential financial assistance to Levi Strauss employees who’ve opened their homes to refugees.

And, Save the Children Sweden is partnering with Airbnb.org to help fill the urgent need for short-term housing.

Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk committed today to match up to $10 million USD in donations to Airbnb.org, now through April 30, in support of the effort to offer housing to refugees fleeing Ukraine.

She has found her community supportive of her decision to open her home: “If we are able to host a Ukrainian guest … the community will be rallying around to provide clothes, food, meals, rides, interpretation, employment, and the list goes on.” If you’d like to help, you can sign up through Airbnb.org to provide emergency housing in your area or make a donation.

Airbnb.org partners with the International Organization for Migration to support people fleeing Ukraine
Airbnb.org announced today it will work with IOM to connect people fleeing Ukraine to free, short-term housing in Poland, Moldova, Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia. IOM is on the ground, mobilizing teams and boosting capacity in Ukraine and neighboring countries to respond to the growing humanitarian needs of Ukrainians forced to flee the country, those internally displaced, and stranded third country nationals. IOM’s priority is the safety and protection of all those fleeing the country and their ability to access assistance.

Airbnb has suspended operations in Russia and Belarus
This means that we are blocking Host calendars from accepting new bookings in both countries until further notice. We will also restrict guests in Russia and Belarus from making new reservations.

Supporting people in Ukraine
We are making efforts to support our community members in Ukraine who remain in the country. Airbnb is temporarily waiving Host and guest fees on new bookings in Ukraine. We have also implemented our extenuating circumstances policy in Ukraine, so Hosts and guests can cancel penalty-free for qualifying reservations.

Hosts helping Hosts in Ukraine
A Host in Park City, Utah, came up with the idea of supporting Hosts in Ukraine by booking and paying for stays in homes almost 6,000 miles away–with no intention of staying there–to provide a financial boost. That Host, Sarah Brown, told the “Today” show: “For me, it was the simplest way to feel connected to a person, like boots on the ground. It just seemed like the natural thing to do.” Since then, other Hosts have started doing the same as a bit of moral and financial support for Hosts in the war-torn country. You can watch Sarah’s story and join Host conversations in the Community Center.

We are moved by the inspiring generosity of our community during this moment of crisis. In the past 48 hours, as we’ve waived our fees for new reservations, we’ve noticed a grassroots movement to book Airbnb listings in Ukraine with the objective of supporting local Hosts. In just two days, people around the world booked more than 61,000 nights in Ukraine listings, including more than 34,000 nights booked by U.S. guests.
