Airbnb to Offer Free Accommodation Following Europe Floods

Airbnb has launched its emergency response programme to provide those affected by the devastating floods across Western Europe with access to free accommodation. Existing Hosts on Airbnb with entire home listings and anyone with free space in impacted regions can now opt in to list their homes for €0 and offer free, temporary stays to those in need. Record rainfall has led to some of the worst flooding parts of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands have seen in recent times. In response, Airbnb has activated its emergency response programme, an initiative to help connect people in need of urgent accommodation who have been displaced by the floods with local Hosts who can open their homes free of charge. Temporary stays through the programme are available from now until 2 August. As we have seen during other disasters across the world, we are hopeful that the Airbnb community will come together to open their homes for those in need.
