Description: A new nonprofit that opens homes in times of crisis. Airbnb.org is inspired by our host community, and we’re proud to say it began eight years ago with the actions of a single host—Shell. After Hurricane Sandy struck in 2012, Shell sprang into action, sharing her home with a family forced to evacuate theirs. Her generosity inspired thousands of other hosts to do the same, and since then, over 75,000 people in 104 countries have been housed during emergencies. We are now formalizing these efforts with the creation of Airbnb.org, an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works in partnership with global NGOs and relief organizations to provide emergency stays for people when they need it most.
