Airbnb will provide Ukrainians with free temporary housing in Europe until the end of the year
The well-known apartment rental service Airbnb provides Ukrainian refugees with temporary, free housing. United4Ukraine announced the restoration of the program. However, this time Airbnb is helping not only those fleeing war but also those traveling for medical treatment.
Since February 24, 2022, we have jointly enabled the provision of temporary housing to over 12,000 people displaced from Ukraine as a result of the Russian invasion. Thanks to our initiative, many of them found a safe place to live, which made it easier for them to adapt to the new environment abroad. Thanks to the support of our partners, Airbnb and PHINEO, we are resuming the free housing program to continue helping the people of Ukraine
we read in statement.
Who can use the program?
- people evacuating from war zones, occupied and unoccupied territories or as a result of prolonged hostilities,
- children with parents or guardians who leave Ukraine for health reasons,
- soldiers, veterans, and their families leaving Ukraine for treatment,
- refugees who were outside Ukraine and found themselves in a critical situation.
How to apply for a free apartment?
It is important that only Ukrainian citizens or people with a valid residence permit in Ukraine who have not previously benefited from the United for Ukraine housing program can benefit from the assistance. To apply for free temporary housing, go to the link and open the “Find temporary housing” section. The program will continue until December 31, 2023. The apartment is provided for a period of 7 to 30 days.
