What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Airbnb plans to dedicate $500 million to its philanthropic arm over the next five years to increase temporary housing support for medical travelers and disaster survivors. The platform will fund this expansion by donating 10 cents from every booking and covering any shortfall, according to Brian Chesky. The nonprofit arm, Airbnb.org, aims to eventually provide 1 million nights of free housing each year.
