“Our hearts go out to all those impacted by the tornado. Airbnb hosts in the Nashville area are showing their support and offering free, temporary housing to those in need and relief workers,” said Kristen Berlacher, Airbnb’s Head of Causes for Open Homes. “As we continue to work with local agencies and disaster relief organizations on the ground to offer our support, we encourage hosts to open up their homes and those in need of housing to take advantage of our community’s generosity.”
Airbnb has also activated its “extenuating circumstances policy
BACKGROUND:
Airbnb’s Open Homes program began organically in 2012 in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and has since grown into a global disaster response initiative that connects Airbnb hosts to people in time of need. In the event of major natural disasters, Airbnb's Open Homes Program helps people who have been displaced -- as well as emergency relief workers and volunteers deployed to help-- find free, temporary accommodations with local Open Homes hosts.
