Airbnb Offers Housing for Stranded Immigrants in the US

Trump’s so-called “Muslim ban” (it’s not really a Muslim ban, even Christians and Jews from named countries are banned from entering the US) has caused a huge backlash in the tech industry. Earlier we reported Uber’s response to the whole thing. As the hours go past, more and more tech giants are standing up to Trump.

Airbnb’s CEO has joined the fray, not just speaking out against President Trump’s refugee ban but offering free housing to refugees affected. Under the company’s disaster response program, Airbnb will allow hosts to sign up to offer free housing while also subsiding costs of housing in areas where no hosts have volunteered.
