The Job

In December 2020 Airbnb launched Airbnb.org, a non-profit organization that builds on a long history of connecting people in times of crisis to safe, comfortable places to stay. This work began at Airbnb in 2012, when a Host named Shell reached out wanting to offer her home for free to those impacted by Hurricane Sandy in New York City. Since then, Airbnb—and now Airbnb.org—has partnered with Hosts, nonprofit organizations, emergency management agencies and governments to provide stays to people around the world in times of crisis. Today, building upon a decade of learnings and experience providing temporary housing to 100,000 refugees, asylum seekers and people displaced by disaster or other crises across 104 countries, Airbnb.org has announced a series of commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion including centering marginalized communities in its work and in team composition.
