It would broaden the scope of couchers and that surely is a good idea. Many people prefer to pay something for accommodation, especially for extended stays which is something many hosts steer away from.
I think the ‘openhomes’ initiative of airbnb is for free.
I also remember Couchsurfing came into the news because it asked its members to offer shelter after some natural disasters.

Very cool initiative. I personally think it’d be within our scope. Definitely a project for down the line though for when we have enough users to implement this properly. I imagine we’d want to partner with other organisations that advocate for helping and provide resources for people in these situations.

Excelente iniciativa por parte de Airbnb:Está dirigida a personas con urgente necesidad y dispone de un seguro de un millón (USD) para daños a la propiedad.1-Personas afectadas por desastres y trabajadores humanitarios que responden a título oficial.2-Refugiados y solicitantes de asilo
3-Trabajadores de la salud de primera línea.4-Para reservar un alojamiento para refugiados, es necesario que te refiera una organización sin fines de lucro.---------------Por cierto:Es un placer navegar por la web de Airbnb,es amigable,con espacio y sin caos. Y del tema comentado, se comporta como intermediaria y facilita el vehículo digital y,es la ONG la que toma las decisiones de las candidaturas.Por supuesto,cualquier alojamiento como un sofá será rechazado y la organización humanitaria velará por una vivienda digna tanto en higiene como en espacio vital y privado para la persona necesitada.Se exige,además,no contar con antecedentes penales si deseas participar en esta prestación humanitária.
