Airbnb.org has already responded to more than 80 emergencies in 2026, exceeding its previous record number of responses from 2025. Executive Director Christoph Gorder said the nonprofit, founded by Airbnb, provides free emergency housing by leveraging Airbnb's global network of millions of homes. Since 2020, Airbnb.org has provided 1.6 million nights of free temporary housing in nearly 140 countries. The organization partners with local nonprofits to identify families in need and covers the cost of stays, with Airbnb funding all operating expenses so that 100% of donations go directly to families. Gorder encouraged hosts to sign up and offer discounts, and urged the public to visit Airbnb.org to learn more or donate.
