Watch below as community efforts began after flooding along the Ohio River:
Airbnb founded the nonprofit Airbnb.org in 2020. The organization helps connect people to emergency housing in times of crisis by using the Airbnb platform and network of local hosts.
These emergency stays are fully funded by Airbnb.org and donations provided for emergency housing.
Airbnb.org has provided 1.6 million nights of free, temporary housing to more than 250,000 people.
Most recently, Airbnb.org provided temporary housing for those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires and people impacted by Hurricane Helene and Milton.
Impacted residents from recent flooding can request temporary housing support or other services by calling United Way of Greater Cincinnati at 211.
